As residents on Grey Road 18, near Owen Sound, who have children, we have noticed an increase in speeding and unsafe driving and plan to petition Grey County to reduce the speed limit from 80 km/ hour to 60km/ hour between Concession Road 10 and Grey County Road 11 (east of Rockford). Grey Road 18 between Concession 10 and Grey County Road 11 is highly residential and an 80 km/hr speed limit (highway speed) is no longer appropriate or safe.
Issues include: the safety of children, especially school bus stops and walking along road to homes, poor stopping sight distance due to vertical curves, high number of residential entrances, increased frequency in speeding and stunt driving (at least 50km over the speed limit) and generally dangerous driving (i.e.passing on solid lines).
Please sign below if you support this petition for a reduction in speed and to improve safety. Please include your address in the comment section.

Would love to see the speed limit reduced in front of our home! Too many 18 wheelers and joy riders take this bypass instead of hwy 26 to avoid traffic, just so they can go faster than 100km/hr. The majority of residents on this stretch are residential homes with a short distance from the road. It is getting really scary to even go out to collect mail let alone walking with stroller or letting children play in the front yard.

Carrie Willis 103478 Grey Road 18 Many 18 wheelers, some with two trailers attached (Coke-A-Cola and gravel trucks are brutal!!!) fly by with drivers that appear to be texting. Lots of cars and motorcycles love this stretch and drive on it like it’s the Autobahn. A reduced speed (60 km) would be appreciated. Those that want to go faster can stick to Hwy 26. You are taking your life in your hands if you want to walk/run in this road.

As long time residents of this block we wanted this implemented over 20 years ago. Now with the road much more busier this is a serious situation that needs to be looked at. My wife Ingrid and son Alex would also like to have there names included on the petition.
