New all-way stop at Simcoe Street South and Harbour Road in Oshawa

Whitby, Ontario – In support of Durham Vision Zero and in collaboration with the City of Oshawa, The Regional Municipality of Durham is adding a new all-way stop at the intersection of Simcoe Street South (Regional Road 2) and Harbour Road.

Where: At the intersection of Simcoe Street South (Regional Road 2) and Harbour Road in Oshawa.

When: Tentatively scheduled for September 25. Unfavourable weather conditions may impact the work schedule.

Why: To improve road safety.
