If you’re late it’s probably because of us…not associated with the ttc. Advocating for modernization of Torontos signals and switches…

The big problem with loop detectors is they can’t easily be moved if you retime or change the speed of a road. They can still work, but not nearly as well as other options.

@swanboatsteve.bsky.social we now have some hard evidence that the TTC doesn't care about signal timing...would be very interesting to get all this FOI'd to see if they actually made any requests...

If we are going to improve traffic and transit in this city, you would think the first step would be to have all the traffic signal timings in an "accessible and machine-readable" format...but staff can't do it...so they are going to continue charging 130$ per intersection... #topoli

Looks like we have got some action on this one! Less than 24 hours later and @diannesaxe.bsky.social had a motion to open signal timings...hopefully this one gets included at council...

The diamond vehicle detected is really nice.

Hey #topoli - why do we charge 116$ to find out the timings for a streetlight? This should be available for free from @torontoopendata.cityof.toronto.ca

We’re going to be advocating for 1) info about Go Slow zones on the subway and streetcar systems 2) a project to eliminate Go Slows at intersections and switches 3) upgrades to dual blade switches 4) upgrades of control software to include positive feedback of switch position
