Transit Priority Signal Indicator


The transit priority signal allows transit vehicles to enter intersections ahead of other traffic. A separate signal located within the traffic light alerts the transit vehicle that it can enter the intersection. This “cigar signal” allows the transit vehicle to jump the queue and enter the intersection first. It creates the necessary space for the bus to merge into regular traffic.

Examples of the indicator can be found at the intersections of:

  • Woodroffe Avenue and Meadowlands Drive
  • Woodroffe Avenue and Knoxdale Road
