New Traffic Pattern Set for Central Parkway
 
A new traffic pattern with recently constructed roundabout will start Feb. 16. on Central Parkway (formally known as C 470). Divers should pay attention to traffic control signs and barriers that will help with guidance.

Good news, that corner had been a death trap.

Is this at the intersection with CR501 (Marsh Bend Trail)?

can't figure it out either
 
I looked at the maps that they released and I can't figure out where this roundabout is.

At the detour of 470 near Intersection with Marshbend trail.

Near the SE corner of the prison.

470 is being replaced with a traffic calming 4 lane winding road renamed to Central Parkway.

If you zoom in on that area in Google maps, you can see several sections starting to appear.

A legible map from The Gazette article would have been a plus!

Since when have divers paid attention to traffic control signs? They are busy finding Nemo.

I'm hoping that drivers, as well as divers, will pay attention!


Sorry, couldn't help myself!

This does nothing to help with the intersection from 501 onto 470. This circle is further down going towards the Turnpike. We still have to wait till they either put a light up or a death at the intersection for them to help with the actual problem we all have trying to turn onto 470.

I don't even know where Marshbend is! :shrug:

Lived in Bonnybrook (near 466) for 19 years, and get lost going south.

Looks like 470 will have a stop sign where it will dead end into MB Trail. When complete, Central Parkway will be the main 4 lane route through the area.

They appear to be diverting most construction traffic to unopened roads down here.

I have the same problem up north, but enjoy the trips to the legacy areas also.

It's worth a drive down MB Trail to 470 and the turnpike, mindboggling to see how much work is in progress.

Believe it or not, there are actual maps to provide you with that information.

Better station a couple cops and an ambulance or two for the first week. IMHO
