Serious crashes prompt new traffic signals for Greater Sudbury roadway

City staff is recommending left turn signals be installed at two intersections with MR35 in Azilda because of the severity of collisions there in recent years. City staff is recommending left turn signals be installed at two intersections with MR35 in Azilda because of the severity of collisions there in recent years. A study found that while traffic volumes don't warrant the new traffic signals, the fact the speed limit is 80 km/h means when crashes do occur, they are more serious. The report said between Jan. 1, 2020, and April 1, 2025, there were 23 collisions at the corner of MR35 and Marier Street. 'Ten of these collisions were either angle type or turning movement type collisions, which are the collision type most associated with left turn movements,' the report prepared for the June 16 meeting of the operations committee. 'During the same time at MR35 and Montee Principale, a total of 15 collisions occurred and 10 of those were either angle type or turning movement type collisions.' MR was expanded to four lanes in 2020, becoming a four-lane cross-section from two. A traffic study at the time concluded that no left turn signal was needed. While an average of two collisions a year normally wouldn't lead to left-hand turn signals, the report said as a result of the higher speed limit on the roadway, 'a number of these collisions resulted in injury.' Because of 'the posted speed limit and the severity of the collisions which have occurred, staff are proceeding with installing fully protected left turn signals for both left turn lanes at both intersections,' the report said. 'The required material and installation costs will utilize existing traffic signal operating budget and existing staff compliment will be used to reprogram the traffic signal controllers. It is anticipated that the left turn signals will be installed and operational in June 2025.' Read the full report here.

F1 Grand Prix: How to get around Montreal

(THE CANADIAN PRESS/Christinne Muschi) After last year's mishaps during Montreal's Formula 1 Grand Prix, city officials say they are aiming for 'the top of the podium' when it comes to logistics and transportation, Noovo Info reports. Grand Prix weekend typically attracts more than 300,000 people — 50 per cent of whom come from outside Quebec — making it the busiest weekend on the city's roads. READ MORE: Montreal hopes to repair damaged reputation during Grand Prix weekend 'The main point is to avoid the Jacques Cartier Bridge and the Bonaventure Expressway if you are not going to the Canadian Grand Prix,' said Philippe Sabourin, a spokesperson with the City of Montreal. While the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve site at Jean-Drapeau Park on Île Sainte-Hélène is expecting to be very busy, other areas in and around Montreal will also be buzzing with F1 excitement, including the Formula Peel event, the Grand Prix Festival on Crescent Street and the pit stop at the Eaton Centre. On the same weekend, the city will also be hosting the Francos de Montréal and Mural Festival, among other events. Anyone attending the Montreal Grand Prix festivities is encouraged to plan their travel using the F1 GP Canada app. 'Given the large number of participants and the fact that there is no parking available, it is essential to use public transport to access the site during the event,' warns the Canadian Grand Prix website, pointing to public transit, park-and-ride options, river shuttles and taxis. STM strike The Société de transport de Montréal (STM) says it has negotiated an agreement with its maintenance workers to ensure that public transport will be 'complete and regular' during the Grand Prix, both for safety and traffic flow reasons. The Jean-Drapeau Metro station (Yellow line) is located near the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve, about a 15-minute walk away. In addition to the Metro, there should be special shuttles running between the Old Port and Île Sainte-Hélène. The STM is advising users to plan their trips carefully and purchase tickets in advance whenever possible. Keep the city clean The City of Montreal, with the help of the Ville-Marie and Plateau-Mont-Royal boroughs in particular, says it has made additional efforts in recent weeks to keep the streets clean. Work has also been done on various construction sites located within the perimeter of the Grand Prix and across the downtown core, including the fact that no new permits have been issued for that time period, except for emergencies. The City of Montreal says it has also asked developers to keep construction sites clean and remove 'unnecessary' cones.
