Toronto is implementing right turn green arrow phases to activate simultaneously with opposing left turn green arrow phases! It's being implemented at these 5 intersections:
- King St at Jarvis St
- King St at Bathurst St
- Bathurst St at Adelaide St
- York St at Lakeshore Blvd
- Lawerence Ave at the Allen Rd Expressway
This is being done to move more vehicles without adding time to cycle lengths!
Other than these 5 intersections, I strongly support this being implemented under the following conditions:
- There's a curb or median separating the exit leg lanes unless there's only 1 exiting lane.
- There are no driveways, intersections or parking lot entrances within a certain distance from the intersection (unless inbound turns are prohibited)
- Without a curb or median that separates the exit leg lanes, there should be enough exiting lanes to allow all vehicles turning right and all opposing vehicles turning left proceed at the same time. This includes semi trucks being able to procced without their paths colliding. On some roads in Toronto's downtown core, trucks are not allowed.
