Origin
Summary
This staff report is about right-turn-on-red prohibitions affecting roadways where the Toronto Transit Commission operates bus service, requiring City Council approval.
One focus action in the Vision Zero 2.0 Road Safety Plan approved by Council in July 2019 is addressing turning collisions at signalized intersections. This can be addressed through the utilization of several tools, including the strategic application of right-turn-on-red prohibitions.
The purpose of this report is to recommend right-turn-on-red prohibitions at six intersections in Toronto and East York Community Council area and presents the decision making process for selection of these intersections.
