Town of Tecumseh 2024 Road Needs Study - Update

The Town is proceeding with the second portion of the 2024 Road Needs Study to obtain a detailed condition assessment of the Town’s existing road network. Information from the Road Needs Study is used to prioritize road improvement projects. Dillon Consulting Ltd. has engaged Ontario Traffic Inc. to complete traffic counts for this study. The traffic counts are planned to take place next week. This work will include the installation of temporary cameras and other traffic counting equipment throughout the Town. Below is a photo showing a typical camera setup that you may see at some Town intersections. These are not red light cameras and are only there for road assessments. 

The Town is proceeding with the 2024 Road Needs Study to obtain a condition assessment of Tecumseh’s existing road network. Information from the Road Needs Study is used to prioritize road improvement projects.  Dillon Consulting Ltd. has engaged StreetScan Canada ULC to inspect all Tecumseh roadways using automated road scanning technology and their data collection is anticipated to take approximately 2 days to complete, starting on Monday May 20th.

StreetScan employs vehicle-mounted sensing technology to assess road conditions in normal traffic flow. The system utilizes its technology to determine the health of each street and to identify road defects including potholes, bumps, and cracking. This data helps the municipality to identify and prioritize where repairs are needed and to ensure that streets are kept in the best condition.
