The Regional of Municipality of Durham said it has modified left-turn signals at two Thickson Road (Regional Road 26) intersections in the Town of Whitby.
Where: The northbound to westbound left-turn signal at Thickson Road and Taunton Road (Regional Road 4), and the southbound to eastbound left-turn signal at Thickson Road and Dundas Street in Whitby.
These new signals were installed recently and are currently in operation.
They have been introduced to reduce collisions at these two intersections. A separate, fully protected left-turn signal has been installed to improve safety for motorists making a northbound left-turn from Thickson Road onto Taunton Road, and making a southbound left-turn from Thickson Road onto Dundas Street.
New traffic signal indications were installed specifically for these movements to ensure motorists only turn left when the green left-turn arrow is visible.
