To avoid this catch 22, the bus lane shortly ends before the intersection, so that the bus can cross straight at the same time as other traffic.

Since a bus signal is obligatory. The standards do not allow a bus to go straight at the same time as other general traffic to go straight, if the bus lane is situated in the extreme right. Therefore this would have severely limit the time that buses can cross. (2)

So I looked into it, and I was a little wrong. It’s only allowed if the bus basically has its own phase. A bus traffic signal are mandatory if the bus lane continues until the intersection. (1)

I know, it’s really sad. We really design to let car drivers be reckless, while all other users must use caution. The people at the MTMD are still very car centric.

Yes, but this is also not allowed, even with such a cycle, because sometimes users (pedestrians, vehicle operators), do not follow the signs.

It’s because the standards do not allow this if there is a sidewalk because then pedestrians won’t be visible from right turning vehicles if the reserved lane continues until the stop line.

Laval has one, where there is no sidewalk.

I can confirm that the MTMD does not allow this, because if the bus lane continues all the way into the intersection, it would block visibility of the crosswalk and pedestrians crossing would not be visible if a vehicle turns right.

It is only legal, if there is no crosswalk. Laval has one here :

Bicycle can take full lane.

Félicitations à @villedemontreal.montreal.ca pour cette mesure inclusive : à certaines intersections avec feux sonores, un appui prolongé sur le bouton piéton déclenche une phase protégée ou prolonge le temps de traverse.👏👣 #accessibilité #visionzero

Montréal est maintenant la 1ère ville en Amérique du Nord à avoir reçu le label "Bike City" de l'UCI! Ca veut dire qu'on accueille des événements cyclistes d'envergure, tout en développant le réseau cyclable du quotidien. Fierté!

Never forget.

J’ai tellement hâte, et le quartier en a tellement besoin.

They look so nice ! A much needed upgrade.

street level billboard advertisement for a petition titled "are you tired of waiting for packed transit?", pointing to a petition. it is sponsored by translink, the mayors council, and access for everyone

it's cool to see translink, the mayors' council and access for everyone doing some self-advocacy to secure more frequent transit through ops funding.

in toronto, this doesn't happen. while some of our board cares about fixing funding, our ceo recently boasted about transit being packed 🙄

Way to go? A protest over TTC signs shows what Toronto transit stations could look like TTCriders held a demonstration in the early morning cold outside of King Station on Friday.

It's amazing how TTC can take down activists' signs showing better wayfinding in hours when their own outdated signs stay posted for months, even years. www.thestar.com/news/gta/way... @ttcriders.bsky.social

Advocates give TTC station a makeover to spur city to fund new wayfinding system

TTCriders says existing system has 'hodgepodge of signage' that needs updating

“Our public transit isn’t failing; it’s being intentionally starved.”

Pitch-perfect messaging and framing from @elisejoshi.bsky.social. Transit advocates everywhere: watch this video, learn from it, apply to your local contexts, repeat.

Within hours, TTC took down the signs installed by volunteers this morning.

We'd hoped our helpful suggestions would stick around to help riders navigate.

That's why we're asking Councillors to invest in the TTC's wayfinding strategy in the next budget: tttcriders.ca/wayfinding

Cette histoire a été montée de toute pièce par le maire d'Anjou Luis Miranda.

Que peut-on s'attendre d'un maire qui intimide les enfants qui viennent au conseil d'arrondissement?

Lui on s'y attend.

Mais que ce même mensonge soit repris par Soraya Martinez, c'est inacceptable.

Lotta big upgrades to the MTA's front-facing user experience in the last 12-18 months. Shows what the agency can do when the leadership isn't getting cycled out every ~nine months after a gubernatorial tantrum.

Le Mont-Royal est un trésor collectif.

Avec le projet Camillien-Houde, on protège la montagne, on facilite l’accès pour toustes et on sécurise les déplacements. 🌿

Un projet pensé pour aujourd’hui — et pour demain.

Visuel avec en arrière-plan une carte du réseau de transport collectif de la région de Montréal, sur un fond bleu. En haut, un encadré vert porte la mention « Budget provincial ». Au centre, en grandes lettres blanches : « Non au recul du transport collectif ! ». À droite, un cercle blanc contenant une icône de crayon et les mots « Signez la pétition ». Le logo de Projet Montréal est placé en bas au centre.

Le transport collectif est essentiel à la qualité de vie, au climat et à l’économie. Le budget déposé par Québec marque un recul inquiétant : coupures dans le métro, abandon du tramway...

Projet Montréal demande un vrai réinvestissement.

Surprise surprise : le PQI inclut le 3ème lien, mais exit le Tramway du Sud-Ouest vers Lachine et le SRB sur Saint-Martin à Laval.

La CAQ sont des cancres, incompétents et menteurs. 😤

Moins de voitures, plus de verdure — ça vous dit, Paris? 🌳🚶

Ce dimanche 23 mars, la Ville lumière vote sur la végétalisation et piétonnisation de 500 nouvelles rues à travers ses quartiers! Vous devez bien vous douter de ce qu’on espère comme résultat 😉

Tech people get angry at me when I tell them that I advise transit agencies not to buy the first version of anything.
