Roads 101: An introduction to our road networks 

In 2019, Council and staff toured across Kawartha Lakes to present our "Roads 101 Roundtables". The Roundtables were community presentations delivered as information sessions to an audience, held with a panel of experts to help provide clarity into a number of factors surrounding our roads. See below for the full presentation.

Our crews are always making sure our roads are safe and well maintained. Often, their work includes being on the roads and exposed to traffic-related dangers. Passing traffic can present a serious hazard, which is why our crews always identify their work areas with signs, pylons and/or barriers. The most important thing you can do as a passing driver, cyclist or pedestrian is to pay attention to the signs. This includes stopping when needed, slowing down and safely going around the working crews. Thank you for putting safety first.
