(2) and (3) at the fork road outside Portage du Fort, so as to count the cars using the northwest branch linking Portage with Highway 8 at Mufrelis; and those cars using the southeast branch leading to Shawville.As there appears to be a slight possibility of one of these two roads being paved, it would be useful to know which one carries the most traffic.Other traffic comparisons might be made, such as the flow of traffic on Highway 8 compared with the flow on such northbound roads as the Shaw-ville-Otter Lake road and the Campbell\u2019s Bay-Otter Lake Road.Traffic flow figures should in any case be taken at regular intervals all the way up Highway 8, so that when the new bridge is completed, a check of the changes in traffic habits may be made.These figures would also prove most useful in any future discussion^ with the Minister of Highways regarding the advisability of pushing through the improvement to Highway 8, all the way to the Pembroke Bridge, with the greatest possible speed.It has been stated before, and will likely be stated again, that the work on Highways is not apparently going forward at nearly the pace it should.There is every reason for hastening the work, which, if continued at its present rate, will see completion of the improvements up to the bridge, possibly by 1960.It is important to everyone in the County that our roads be brought up to standards commensurate with their importance at the earliest possible date.The Norway Bay traffic count was one link in the chain of events leading to this goal.It is to be hoped that many of the Municipal Councils will follow the lead taken by the Norway Bay Municipal Association in this matter, and set up similar reports in their areas.The Equity would be more than pleased to act as a central point for receiving figures of traffic counts and assembling them into a single report for the county.mem- The following table gives the result of the count TRAFFIC COUNT NORWAY BAY LOOP July 29th, 1955, 5 to 10 p.m.(cars and trucks both ways) Between Bristol and Highway No.8 Between Bristol and Norway Bay Between Elmside and Norway Bay Intersection Wharf Road and Bristol Road McKee Intersection\u2014Through traffic on Highway No.8 Conclusions ;- 133 309 215 460 TRAFFIC COUNTS SUGGESTED Our readers will be interested in the detailed report appearing on this page, of the traffic count recently conducted in the Bristol-Norway Bay area by the Norway Bay Municipal Association.I 300 1.\tThe busiest traffic point in Bristol Township is the intersection of the Wharf Road and the Bristol Road.2.\tThe traffic between Norway Bay and Bristol was equal to or greater than the through traffic on Highway No.8 at the time of the count.3.\tHad the count continued an hour or two longer at Bristol Village when McDougall\u2019s Dance Hall was in full swing the count at that point would have been considerably higher.4.\tThat the introduction of the four way stop sign at the intersection of the Wharf Road and the Brisol Road was more than justified.5.\tThat the amount of Traffic on the Norway Bay Loop justifies further road improvement.6.\tThat similar traffic counts might usefully be made at the various ferry and bridge entry points into the Province of Quebec in Pontiac County.Data of this kind provides a most useful selling point when urging government, be it local or provincial, to listen constructively to suggestions for road improvements, changes, or the addition of aids to safety.The Norway Bay Municipal Association, and especially the members who took part in the count, are to be congratulated for their public Let us send your copy of THE EQUITY to home each week for a year.Fill in this cou and send with $3.00 to PONTIAC PRINTSHOP Shawville, Quebec your pon Name Address MM The seven menfbers of the Norway Bay Municipal Association who, public spiritedly, made this count were:- Messrs.Cowley, Bonner, Young, Dave McCredie, Sevigny, Osborne and Brown.\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022 Thursanv THE EQUITY uguyt 11, 1955 Page Three Harris - Robitaille Wed At Radford \\ ¦ The Way I See It - (a weekly column) 1 J\u2014;
