If you ride a bike you’re forced to do illegal manoeuvres in TO. Run a red or ride onto sidewalk & press a button because the sensors don’t recognize bikes. Here’s Hallam & Dufferin. Correspondent says he’s been in contact w local councillor since Nov.
It’s a problem at many intersections (eg Sudbury at King). Even ones w bike lanes (eg on Elizabeth at college). The light cycle will pass cyclists by.
Last year @bradrossTO looked into it and this thread (non-linear - have to click to see all responses - will link to some in next tweets to show clearer) explains. Admit it’s deeply technical but what’s obvious is this is a design problem across the city. https://twitter.com/shawnmicallef/status/1176977056183312385
