Downtown Georgetown Traffic Calming

The Town of Halton Hills is proposing traffic calming measures for Downtown Georgetown. 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.

Streets include: Alley Street, Back Street, Charles Street, Church Street, Cross Street, Edith Street, James Street, Joseph Street, Main Street South, Market Street, Mill Street, Park Avenue, Wesleyan Street, and William Street.

We want your input!

Community consultation is a key part of the Town's Traffic Calming Implementation Protocol. Residents, businesses, and frequent road users in the area are invited to participate in a Public Information Centre in person or online to review the proposed plan and provide feedback. Watch a brief presentation and provide your feedback using the available questions and comments tool.

Residents are encouraged to provide comments within the Question and Comments section of this page.

Learn more about the Town’s Traffic Calming Implementation Protocol.
Learn more about the Town’s 40 km/h Speed Limit Area Policy.

Road safety is a shared responsibility. Learn how to file a Road Watch Report and Traffic Concern Report to the Halton Regional Police Service (HRPS) and help keep our roads safe.

Thank you for participating in the discussion. The Town continues to support downtown activation through initiatives such as the Georgetown Farmers Market, which has been a beloved Saturday tradition, transforming Main Street into a bustling market of pedestrians, farmers, artisans, makers, and local downtown businesses. Thank you.
Share I live on Park and my office window faces the street. I regularly hear the honking and have witnessed some near misses at the Park/Edith and Park/Market intersections. Too often, drivers travelling on Edith or Market will stop as they should, but carry on as if they expect the traffic on Park to obey a stop sign that does not exist. Some people who use Park regularly will honk warnings as they approach Edith and Market streets, possibly because they have experienced drivers turning out in front of them. The proposed four-way stop at Market will be an improvement. I'm not sure the Edith/Park intersection needs a four-way stop, but drivers on Edith need a reminder that they must give way to all traffic on Park. Perhaps a small sign added to the stop signs ("two-way stop" or "cross traffic does not stop") would suffice. on Facebook Share I live on Park and my office window faces the street.

Share As a resident of Main Street South I am in favour of these proposed traffic calming measures, but I agree with my fellow residents- some of the proposed speed humps would provide more value to the residents of Coté Terrace Seniors Apartments if they instead took the form of raised crosswalks. This would slow traffic AND give seniors better access to their community. Recommended positions would be at Park Ave and Main South, and just north of the entrance to 171 Main South. I also think signage along Main St South needs to improved. All existing 40km/h signs are undersized and poorly placed so that sight lines are obscured for drivers. Extending the 40km/h zone southward to Cindebarke Terrace would also protect tobogganers and hikers at Cedarvale and children waiting for bussing at the mouth of Cindebarke, as well as slow northbound traffic through the Main/Maple intersection. For those streets in the study that did NOT receive traffic calming (other than signage) regular speed enforcement is necessary. I am still concerned that the traffic calming study did not touch on tractor/trailer traffic using the downtown core despite signage, and sometimes getting stuck or creating dangerous turns at/on Mill St. or Park Ave, East of Main. Perhaps decorative gateways, welcoming people to downtown, that also act as height restrictors could be installed on Main St at Maple and at Hwy 7 to prevent tractor-trailer traffic from cutting through. on Facebook Share As a resident of Main Street South I am in favour of these proposed traffic calming measures, but I agree with my fellow residents- some of the proposed speed humps would provide more value to the residents of Coté Terrace Seniors Apartments if they instead took the form of raised crosswalks.

Share Hi - I’m a resident living at 33 Edith Street. I couldn’t see it anywhere in the FAQ and wanted to ask which specific measures are being considered for our street. I don’t believe high speed traffic to be a big issue but would support either a stop sign at Edith and William or speed bumps, not the speed bollards. I think they really take away from the aesthetic of the neighbourhood and should be a last resort. Thanks Irene on Facebook Share Hi - I’m a resident living at 33 Edith Street.

Hello Irene, staff are proposing all-way stop control at these two intersections: Market St and Mill St, Market St and Park Ave because both locations meet the criteria for all-way stop warrant. Thank you for sharing your comments regarding speed bumps and flexible bollards. Staff will take all your comments into consideration as we prepare the final report to Council. Thank you again for you input.
Share As others have suggested, a four-way stop at Mill and Market is required. The position of the Legion building so close to the road combined with frequent illegal parking on Mill outside Helson’s and Anderson’s make it a blind intersection most of the time. I would also like to suggest that the short piece of Market Street between Mill and Wesleyan be painted with a yellow line down the centre of the road. Most drivers in this area have a hard time making the transition from the one way on Wesleyan to two lanes on Market. This includes our snowplow drivers who completely ignore the top half of the southbound lane when coming from Wesleyan onto Market. We also have cars exiting the parking lot onto Market that sometimes come head on with drivers turning north onto Market. A dividing line would help keep everyone in their own lane. on Facebook Share As others have suggested, a four-way stop at Mill and Market is required.

Share Thank you for the info for the downtown traffic calming project. Based on the proposed traffic calming measures, it appears that 2 speed cushions are being placed between Park Ave and Maple Ave on Main Street. It is quite difficult (at times) to cross Main St (at Park) with the cars that speed up after leaving the true downtown section. Would it be possible to have a speed cushion or in road flexible signs in the section of Main St between Church and Park Ave? Another area of concern is Park Ave between Main St and Mill St (primarily the hill just off Main). This is a very narrow and steep area of road which is used by pedestrians (since the completion of the boardwalk in the ravine) sometimes at great peril, as there is no sidewalk and barely enough room for 2 cars to pass. Has any thought been given to changing that area of Park Ave to one way road. This section of Park is also used as a bypass any time Main St is closed for events etc. on Facebook Share Thank you for the info for the downtown traffic calming project.

Share As a resident of Main Street South since 2005, I have witnessed first hand the increase in excessive speeds of vehicles in general, and more specifically - in both directions - between Park and Maple. I applaud any and all means of speed reduction. In addition to the two proposed speed humps in this section, I would suggest more crosswalk options for the senior residents in the Coté Terrace and Amica in this area. A great spot for this would be at Park/Main; perhaps a raised cross walk would help reduce the speed (watching vehicles avoid the current bumps created by the disrepair of the current southern walkway leads me to believe that this would help). on Facebook Share As a resident of Main Street South since 2005, I have witnessed first hand the increase in excessive speeds of vehicles in general, and more specifically - in both directions - between Park and Maple.

Share PLEASE consider installing the sticks on the road to calm the traffic on James Street. A reduced speed limit sign is not going to work. I understand we can't have speed bumps because of the hospital, but we could have the sticks. I would agree to having them placed directly in front of my house at 26 James which would interfere with my view of Remembrance Park, but would slow cars down. on Facebook Share PLEASE consider installing the sticks on the road to calm the traffic on James Street.
