New traffic signal to help Regina city transit

A new traffic signal will come into effect on Monday at one of Regina’s busiest intersections.

A bus priority signal has been placed at the westbound intersection of Arcola Ave and Ring Road. It is a white vertical line and appears above the red light.

The new signal allows buses to skip the traffic queue and get ahead. Once the bus has passed, the signal will then turn green.

The city installed the new signal because traffic on Arcola Ave can be quite congested at times causing the buses to be late to their next stop.
