Petition addressed to: North Dumfries Township

To the Mayor and Members of Council of the Township of North Dumfries:

WE, the undersigned, respectfully petition the Township Council to take immediate, emergency action to protect Clyde residents and visitors by implementing the following safety measures without delay:

  1. The immediate installation of physical speed bumps or speed humps on critical residential roadways throughout Clyde to legally force vehicle deceleration.
  2. The implementation of all-way stop signs at all intersections within the village to disrupt high-speed through-traffic.
  3. The immediate installation of signage identifying the larger area of Clyde as a community safety zone to alert motorists of the need to slow down in our residential community.

Reason

On Monday, June 15, 2026, Nathan Smith's family, friends and the community of Clyde suffered his tragic, preventable, and heartbreaking death, due to ongoing road safety issues. Excessive speeding and inadequate traffic calming measures throughout the settlement of Clyde continue to pose an immediate, severe, and daily threat to the lives of local residents, pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists alike.

Thank you so much for your support, Kristine Duench, Cambridge

Why people sign

Someone i held dear lost his life due to speeding in this neighbourhood. It is of utmost importance

Awareness for the future

This tragedy could have been avoided. I know I'm nervous pulling out on to this road, worried about cars speeding and hidden by a dip in the road. I have also had cars overtake me in a dangerous way because they wanted to travel faster than the posted limit.

The disrespect for speed limits on our roads and in our community has claimed our neighbour.
Additional and visual signing and traffic calming measures will help reduce excessive speeding in our neighbourhood.
Additional policing would also hammer home the importance of obeying the speed limit as vehicles approach our community.

I have close friends living on this street with two young children. Their safety is important. Too many serious accidents take place on this stretch of road. Its time the municipality did something about it.
