From:Commissioner of Works and Emergency Services
Subject:Various Amendments To Former Metropolitan Traffic By-Laws
Purpose:
To effect amendments to the Metropolitan Uniform Traffic By-law and other traffic-related
Metropolitan by-laws with respect to entries which are incorrect or no longer applicable.
Funding Sources:
Funds associated with this work are contained in the Transportation Services Division's 1999
Current Budget.
Recommendations:
It is recommended that:
(1)the changes, additions and deletions to the Metropolitan Uniform Traffic By-law and
other traffic-related Metropolitan by-laws outlined in the attached Appendices be adopted; and
(2)the appropriate by-law(s) be amended accordingly.
Discussion:
At the present time almost all traffic by-laws which were in place prior to 1998 within the
seven municipalities are still in effect and require distinct amendments. It will be some time
before the consolidation of these by-laws is complete. In the mean time it is necessary to
amend the existing by-laws to legalize current conditions and provide for a means of
enforcement.
Our semi-annual review of various schedules of the Metropolitan Uniform Traffic By-law and
other traffic-related Metropolitan by-laws revealed a number of entries which are incorrect or
no longer applicable and which should be amended or deleted.
In general, the amendments identified in the Appendices to this report are housekeeping in
nature and are required in order to correct typographical/clerical errors or to formalize signage
and pavement markings which exist on-street. Attached to each Appendix 1 through 7 are
explanatory notes describing why the amendments are being introduced.
In order to maintain current and accurate by-law information, it is recommended that the
changes, additions and deletions to the Metropolitan Uniform Traffic By-law and other
traffic-related Metropolitan by-laws listed in the attached Appendices 1 through 7 be put into
effect.
Conclusions:
The adoption of the by-law amendments identified in the Appendices to this report will
improve the accuracy of information contained in the Metropolitan Uniform Traffic By-law
and other traffic-related Metropolitan by-laws and, when necessary, allow for proper
enforcement and prosecution.

appropriate to rescind the corresponding compulsory
