New all-way stops approved in East Zorra-Tavistock and Zorra

Oxford County Council has approved three new all-way stops at the following locations: 

• Township of East Zorra-Tavistock at the intersection of Oxford Road 8 and Oxford Road 60 (16th Line)
• Zorra Township at the intersections of Oxford Road 6 (37th Line) and Oxford Road 17 (Road 74), and Oxford Road 119 (19th Line) and Road 74

The new all-way stops are expected to be installed during the week of April 27. The stops are required as the result of increased traffic volumes and collision occurrences and are part of ongoing efforts to enhance safety on County roads.

The all-way stops in Zorra Township align with upcoming culvert replacements along Oxford Road 2 (between 21st Line and Oxford Road 6), which will require full road closures and detour routes utilizing Oxford Road 119, Road 74, 31st Line, and Oxford Road 6. This will result in increased turning movements and delays at some intersections. For more information about the culvert replacements, refer to the Resident Handout. 

The all-way stop at Oxford Road 8 and Oxford Road 60 (16th Line) location in East-Zorra Tavistock was selected due to increased traffic volumes and collision frequency over the last three years.
