Road safety reviews in Princeton, Plattsville, Woodstock and Zorra

County Council will review on May 25 a number of measures aiming at managing speed, promoting uniform traffic flow, and improving road safety in Oxford communities. The proposed adjustments to speed zone limits and posted speeds in Princeton, Plattsville, Woodstock and Zorra are based on local data and traffic management best practices and will ultimately reduce the risk of collisions. Speed management and road safety reviews have been completed for a number of locations throughout the County over the past year following requests from area municipalities and residents.
