Keeping our roads safe
June 12, 2014 · 0 Comments
Dear editor:
Reference Mr. Dick Byford’s letter – Motorcycle speed and noise.
I have to totally agree with all the comments and observations made by Mr. Byford. I live on Sideroad 10 and the noise and danger created by both individual and groups of motorcyclists has become difficult to tolerate and being a motorsport fan my tolerance threshold could be higher than many. Further, I live within a 50km/hr speed limit and if I received $5 for all vehicles exceeding the posted limit I would have a gold plated pension. Exactly how to control these noise makers and speedsters without breaking the law oneself is a tricky one. Extremely graphic signage may work for a time. Having a decoy OPP vehicle strategically placed may also work for a time. Photo-radar might also offer a solution. But one would like to think between the OPP, the municipal councils, Headwaters Tourism and other community groups as well as the motorcycle associations a solution might be found.
