Traffic Control Signals and Turn Prohibitions - Dufferin Street

However, that report did not include the requested evaluation of traffic control signals on Dufferin Street, as further reviews were required by Transportation Services. Based on the further review, Transportation Services is recommending the installation of traffic control signals at the intersection of Dufferin Street and Lindsey Avenue. There will be some negative impacts, including increased congestion and queuing on Dufferin Street, the loss of on-street parking and additional poles in the right-of-way. However, Transportation Services is recommending this installation as it will provide a protected connection to the cycling facilities on both sides of Dufferin Street, helping create a robust network of bikeways in the area. Traffic control signals will encourage people of different ages and abilities to cycle in the area and will also benefit pedestrians crossing in this section of Dufferin Street. Transportation Services has confirmed that the installation of a Red Light Camera (RLC) is not feasible at the intersection of Dufferin Street and College Street.
