Dufferin County is committed to fostering safe and inclusive transportation networks for all road users so that everyone gets to where they need to go in the community, safely.
Dufferin has many rural roads and road networks that are navigated by users of all kinds, like drivers, cyclists and pedestrians, as well as horse-drawn carriages.
Bruce Hillborn, Manager, Operations and Fleet, for Dufferin County says: “ Dufferin County has a longstanding history of Mennonites located throughout our community, especially in the rural municipalities of Melancthon, Mulmur and Grand Valley,” “A certain community of Mennonites use the horse and buggy as a means of transportation. We must all work together to share our roads and keep our community safe while traveling.”
There are many things to consider when prioritizing safety on County roads, like soft gravel shoulders, hidden intersections and driveways, sudden turns and curves, low lighting and the presence of wildlife. These considerations apply to all road users.
