Traffic and Pedestrian Signals

Traffic signals are designed to coordinate the safe movement of all road users. The Town manages the traffic, pedestrian signals and pedestrian crossovers to keep traffic flowing, provide safety for those crossing the road, and lessen the severity and frequency of collisions. See Table 1 and table 2 below to see where the pedestrian crossings are in Town.

If you notice a traffic light or pedestrian signal is not working, please report it by clicking the following link:

How to spot a pedestrian crossover

Crossovers have:

• Shark teeth (a line of white triangles painted on the road) that show where drivers should stop, and
• “Stop for pedestrians” signs on the roadside; signs may also include flashing lights and/or overhead signs

Crossover rules and tips for pedestrians:

• If there is a push button for lights, press it to turn on the flashing lights before crossing
• Make it clear that you want to cross the road, make eye contact with drivers and cyclists so they see you
• Make sure drivers and cyclists have enough time to stop, and have fully stopped, before you start to cross

Crossover rules and tips for drivers and cyclists:

• Watch for pedestrians waiting to cross the road and make eye contact
• Stop for pedestrians at the yield line of white triangles
• Allow pedestrians to clear the entire roadway before proceeding to drive through (note that intersections with crossing guards require motorists and cyclists to wait until all pedestrians and the crossing guard have cleared the entire roadway before driving through)
• Do not pass other vehicles within 30 meters of the crossover
• Cyclists who wish to use the crossover to cross the roadway must dismount and walk their bike
