MEDICINE HAT, AB – The righthand, northbound lane on Dunmore Road to right-turn-only at Spencer Street SE, says the City of Medicine Hat.
Lane control signs will be installed and covered this week and uncovered when the change takes effect on Nov. 9.
“Engineering analysis shows that northbound drivers coming down the hill on Dunmore Road SE, both turning and straight through, will benefit from the changes,” said Pat Bohan, director of City Assets, referencing a 2013 traffic study and another one completed this year during preliminary design for the future Kingsway corridor reconstruction project. “Since we still have a number of years before the permanent solution, we decided to implement this small lane adjustment in the interim to improve traffic flow.”
In a release, the city says the modification is an interim measure to better manage traffic flow at the intersection until more permanent upgrades can occur as part of planned rehabilitation to the Kingsway corridor within the next five years.
