But there’s more to the situation than meets the eye at the point where traffic signals constantly turn red to allow users of the Kay Gardner Beltline Trail to cross Avenue Road, just south of Chaplin Crescent. “The traffic control signal at the Avenue Road/Chaplin Crescent intersection operates under a ‘fixed time’ mode of control. “The signal at Avenue Road/Kay Gardner Beltline Trail was installed in 2015 and is located 87 metres south of the Avenue Road/Chaplin Crescent intersection. For this to happen, the signal operation at Avenue Road/Kay Gardner Beltline Trail must mimic the signal operation at Avenue Road/Chaplin Crescent, which results in the signals being synchronized all day. Also, northbound drivers at Avenue Road/Kay Gardner Beltline Trail, who are facing a red signal indication, would not be confused by a green signal indication at Avenue Road/Chaplin Crescent.”What’s broken in your neighbourhood?
