There are thousands of road signs throughout the Municipality installed and maintained by our Public Works Department. Public Works also operates the municipally-owned Sign Shop, where most of our signs are manufactured.

All-Way Stop Policy
The Engineering and Transportation Division follows a specific process when launching an All-Way Stop Control Warrant Study at an intersection within Chatham-Kent.
A standard questionnaire form is circulated to the individual requesting the installation of an All-Way Stop Control which includes:
- Information on both the positive and negative effects of the installation of All-Way Stop Control
- Questions regarding the rationale for the request for an All-Way Stop Control
A standard petition must be circulated by the individual to the owners and/or tenants of all dwelling units within a 120-metre (400-foot) radius of the intersection. This petition must include:
- A cover letter outlining the reason for the All Way Stop Request Petition
- Positive and negative effects of the installation of an All-Way Stop Control
- Signatures from at least sixty percent (60%) of the owners and/or tenants representing dwelling units within 120 metres (400-foot) radius in favour of an All-Way Stop Control
- Dwelling units next to the intersection must be included in the sixty percent (60%) in favour of an All-Way Stop Control.
An All-Way Stop Control Warrant Study will be undertaken, which includes a traffic study with the data collected applied to the All Way Stop Control Warrants found in the Ontario Traffic Manual, Book 5 (Regulatory Signs).
A report to Council will be presented with recommendations based on the findings of the All Way Stop Control Warrant Study.
