Roads: Traffic Signals

[DSC]

Currently a solid green arrow indicates priority - left turn signal as an example.
What is required in your situation would be a flashing yellow right arrow (although not in MTO's handbook) - proceed with caution when clear.

Yes, your solution sounds clearer.

I think that is something like the 'Michigan left'' signal (although I don't know how it applies to pedestrians). A green arrow means an unobstructed/priority let turn; a flashing yellow arrow means oncoming traffic. A solid arrow is the transition to red.

We need to keep in mind that the Ontario Traffic Council might write the handbooks, but any change in legislation/regulations regarding traffic light operation, colour, aspect, etc. needs to come from government.

They’re known as FYA phases – a Michigan Left is of course something much different.

I noticed over the last year they extended the red light after the advanced green, I'm guessing this was to reduce the chance of cars going forward while someone is turning left?

There's like a 5+ second gap added between light changes, and I've just noticed more cars turning illegally with the added time...
