The Town of Halton Hills is proposing traffic calming measures for the Ballinafad neighbourhood. An operational safety review was initiated in response to numerous residential concerns regarding excessive speeding, road safety, and aggressive driving. As a result, a proposed traffic calming plan has been developed to enhance safety for all road users.

We want your input!

Community consultation is a key part of the Town's Traffic Calming Implementation Protocol. Residents of the Ballinafad neighbourhood, as well as frequent road users in the area, are invited to participate in a Public Information Centre (PIC) in person or online to review the proposed plan and provide feedback.


In-person PIC
Date: June 3, 2025
Time: 6-7:30 p.m. (presentation at 6:30 p.m.)
Location: Ballinafad Community Centre, 9382 Erin Halton Hills Townline, Erin, N0B 1T0

  • Share I must add my objection to the "traffic calming" proposals for Southwinds Drive resulting from this Neighbourhood study. While there is a significant issue along 32nd Sderoad with speeding, as your Speed & Volume Data and anecdotal input from anyone living along the road would indicate, traffic calming measures along Southwinds Drive are totally unjustified based upon that same Speed & Volume data. There simply isn't a speeding problem along the road. After reading through the city policies regarding neighbourhood traffic calming, I can see virtually no justification for implementing any of these measures. The vehicle count data is too low and the average speed data shows there is no issue. The town's justification for these measures appears to be based upon only two criteria. 1) Proximity to a "parkette" which is being used as the basis for reducing the posted speed from 50km to 40km. Given that the parkette in question is on Sandal Wood - a 50km speed limited road, and 32nd Side Road - again a 50km road - reducing the speed limit along Southwinds because of pedestrian traffic going to the parkette defies logic and common sense. It makes even less sense when you consider that most foot traffic other than dog walkers would likely enter the park along 32nd sideroad because of the proximity to the park amenities. 2) The introduction of "intrusive" traffic calming measures (speedbumps) appears to be proposed because of "anticipated" rerouting of traffic from 32nd sideroad as drivers try to avoid the bumps on 32nd. I'd like to see actual empirical data supporting this supposition before taking any action. The data you've provided is inconclusive at best. My experience with driving the neighbourhood and observing local traffic is that there is very little if any diversion of traffic along Southwinds to avoid the lights at Trafalgar. This is because it simply doesn't save any time, especially if one gets stuck at the Southwinds/Trafalgar stop sign waiting for the volume of traffic that was just released through the traffic lights. Speed bumps will add to the noise level as drivers slow down and speed up. They will undoubtedly make snow removal more difficult and they will be an aggravation to the local residents who will see virtually no benefit from them. The odd speeding ATV or dirtbike won't be discouraged by these measures - quite the opposite in my opinion as the bumps would add to the thrill of driving these types of vehicles. They also won't prevent the odd nut from racing over them. I would much rather see the city consider how best to grade the corner at the south west turn in the street. This is the only section of the street that can in fact be problematic particularly in the winter. Proper grading and perhaps warning signs as drivers enter the curve could potentially help. This is a rural residential enclave with wide streets in what has been a calm and quiet neighbourhood and, in my opinion, does not need “traffic calming”. Your proposals seem like a solution looking for a problem rather than an actual problem that needs to be addressed. Our tax dollars should not be wasted on these needless measures. on Facebook Share I must add my objection to the "traffic calming" proposals for Southwinds Drive resulting from this Neighbourhood study.

    Thank you for expressing your concerns. We would like to ensure you that they will be taken into consideration in preparation of the final recommendation report to Council.

    The report will be posted on the Let's Talk and will illustrate the recommended plan. Should you have any concerns regarding the plan you will have the opportunity to delegate at the Council meeting.

  • Share I’m writing to strongly support the installation of a traffic calming bump along 32 side road. The amount of speeding that happens on this stretch of road is dangerous and completely out of hand. We’re right near an intersection, which already increases risk, and the high volume of traffic only makes it worse. I have a small child who plays in our driveway, and it’s honestly terrifying how fast some drivers go through here without a second thought. Our dog was already hit by a car. That alone should be enough to raise serious concern. On top of that, despite the fact that this road is zoned as a no-truck route, large trucks continue to use it regularly. It's loud, unsafe, and not what this residential street was designed for. A speed bump would make a big difference in slowing drivers down and making this area safer for everyone who lives here — especially families. I hope the town takes this request seriously before there’s an even worse incident. on Facebook Share I’m writing to strongly support the installation of a traffic calming bump along 32 side road.

  • Share I am very concerned and object strongly to such traffic calming methods on what is already a very quiet residential street i.e. southwinds drive. There is a lack of clear valid data supporting the proposal ( i.e. number of accidents, number of traffic violations etc.) A brief survey on which these proposals are based shows very little traffic and minimal speed excess ( the data does not support the recommendations). As described there are already traffic measures in place, including stop signs, speed limits and now traffic lights. The comment that Southwinds would be used as a cut through to avoid the speed bumps on side road 32 is in itself ludicrous.. and illuminates the whole problem with speed bumps. The braking and noise associated with these traffic calming measures needs to be part of the consideration. If the proposal is to include southwinds so drivers avoid 32 side road why has Sandalwood not been included? Are the residents on Sandalwood being surveyed as there will likely be increased traffic through that area ( as given as part of the rationale ). The inference is that by putting in traffic calming measures on 32 side road, it would increase traffic on southwinds… this would be more problematic and create the very issue that it is meant to be solving. I am unsure how Hilts crt as a dead end has a need for traffic calming? Overall this seems a wholly inappropriate use of our taxes and funds would be better directed to real issues!

  • Share It is my understanding after a discussion with Roumen and Maureen that the invasive calming measures proposed for Southwinds i.e. the speed bumps, are a preventative measure, given an expectation that more drivers will use Southwinds as an alternate route to Trafalgar southbound once the speed bumps are installed on 32nd Sideroad. Since current speed and volume data does not support intrusive measures, I recommend that the Town wait for the post study to determine whether speed bumps are warranted on Southwinds. In the interim, perhaps Watch for Children signs could be erected if homeowners' want them in front of their properties. Another consideration could be a Vehicle Activated Traffic Calming Sign or Permanent Radar Message Board just before the curve when driving northbound (given it is a blind curve). ( This assumes that either of these measures would be more cost effective than the installation of speed bumps.)

Another consideration could be a Vehicle Activated Traffic Calming Sign or Permanent Radar Message Board just before the curve when driving northbound (given it is a blind curve).

Thank You. on Twitter Share It is my understanding after a discussion with Roumen and Maureen that the invasive calming measures proposed for Southwinds i.e. the speed bumps, are a preventative measure, given an expectation that more drivers will use Southwinds as an alternate route to Trafalgar southbound once the speed bumps are installed on 32nd Sideroad.

  • Share The traffic east bound on 32 Sideroad is always moving faster than east bound. I have seen speeds on the unit by our home in excess of 80 kmh. We have had vehicles, both motorcycles and cars, passing at high speed in front of our house. This gives us some concern as people walk and ride bikes in this area. Has any consideration been given to this area. on Facebook Share The traffic east bound on 32 Sideroad is always moving faster than east bound.

    Hello and thank you for taking the time to review the proposed plan and provide us with your feedback.

    The proposed location for the westerly speed hump on 32 Side Road is between #9366 and  #9368 as this is the most suitable location as vehicles enter the hamlet.


  • Share Henry Burnett is informing you that the speed bump at 20 Southwinds Drive is extremely dangerous. It is on a curve and if suspension in vehicle is slightly off they could lose control. Speed bumps are only to be used on straight pieces of road. In winter this problem would be that much worse. Move that speed bump further to the north. on Facebook Share Henry Burnett is informing you that the speed bump at 20 Southwinds Drive is extremely dangerous.

    Thank you for the comments. I completely agree with you as intrusive measures cannot be placed near or at horizontal and vertical locations. These are approximate locations which are proposed north and south of Hilts Court.
