Transit signal priority in place along both Line 6 Finch West and Line 5 Eglinton

The TTC says transit riders on both Lines 5 and 6 should see improved trip times following the implementation of transit signal priority.

Changes have been made to traffic signals on the street-level portions of each line that will allow LRT trains to move through the intersection before left-turning vehicles.

Signal transit priority has been in place on Finch Avenue West east of Islington Avenue at Milady Road, Pearldale Avenue (Pearldale station) and Duncanwoods Drive (Duncanwoods station) since late last month.
