"The City of Toronto has made changes to traffic signals at all intersections on Line 6 and select intersections on Line 5 to move trains ahead of left-turning vehicles. The TTC said additional system enhancements will be rolled out in the months ahead to make signals more dynamic and responsive in real time, as well as improvements to Line 5's Leslie Street intersection after further testing."
"That means a single car turning left won't hold up an LRT full of a hundred people, said Chow. She said signal priority has also been added to three intersections on Spadina Avenue to test out faster streetcars. This will gather important data to inform the City's next steps to speed up surface transit."
"Trains will arrive every six and a half minutes during weekday rush hour and every 10 minutes at other times. Service will also be extended until 1 a.m., said the TTC in a news release."
