Sam Sinjari's Road and Pedestrian Safety Policy

Sam Sinjari's platform supports traffic-calming measures, sidewalks, improved intersections, signalized crossings, safer school zones and high-crash corridors, and a strong OPP partnership focused on traffic safety. Road-safety research helps explain the design tools municipalities can use to pursue those goals.

What is traffic calming?

Traffic calming uses street design to reduce operating speeds and conflicts. Common measures include speed humps and tables, raised crosswalks, curb extensions, refuge islands, sidewalks, and other physical changes that influence how drivers move through a street.

What can make intersections safer?

Intersection-safety tools can include roundabouts, all-way stops, raised intersections, and pedestrian-signal timing. Which treatment fits a location depends on traffic volume, road geometry, pedestrian demand, collision history, and engineering analysis.

Does Sam support every treatment described on this site?

No specific commitment to install every individual treatment should be inferred. Sam's stated policy is the broader commitment to traffic calming, sidewalks, improved intersections, signalized crossings, school-zone safety, and high-crash corridors. The individual pages explain the available tools and the evidence behind them.

Sam's policy in one line

Use evidence-based road design and traffic-safety measures where engineering and local conditions show they are appropriate.
