  • This is the intersection of Chemin Saint-Louis & Avenue Lavigerie in Quebec City!
    maps.app.goo.gl/qD5gKcQasDT3T...
    This is a T-intersection.
    There are no dedicated turn lanes at this intersection.
    Pedestrians can only cross at the west leg of this intersection.
    There is no sidewalk at the northeast corner of this intersection.
    For traffic signal timing:
    - Pedestrians using the west leg crosswalk receive a fully protected pedestrian phase, when southbound traffic on Avenue Lavigerie receives a left only green arrow, followed by a lagging right turn green arrow. Westbound has a right turn overlap. If the button isn't pushed, the pedestrian phase will be skipped, and the southbound signals will display a left & right green arrow.
    - Eastbound traffic on Chemin Saint-Louis receives a leading left turn green arrow (protected/permissive), while southbound has a right turn overlap, followed by a permissive green ball for eastbound and westbound.
    Trivia:
    - Quebec City bylaws require pedestrian phases to be fully protected and must not be permissive. This is done by using fully protected turn signal phasing, "through only" green arrows, protected all-way pedestrian phases, etc to separate drivers from pedestrian movements.
    - As part of Quebec City's standards, all red intervals must be avoided, except if it takes more than the yellow interval time to enter and exit the intersection traveling at the posted speed limit.

    In Australia NSW, we use red arrows to the left or right if pedestrians are crossing, it’s much safer and I don’t know why it’s only NSW Australia ( from what I know)

      Are there separate signals for left and right turns now?

      I think it's a 4 section with left and right arrows.

      @@UsernameIncoming Nothing changed with the signal phasing, but the signal heads itself and the indications slightly changed. Other than the signal heads itself being replaced, the only thing that changed with the signal indication, was replacing the second red light with an orange right turn green arrow. The signals shown in this video were before the signals were replaced. Now, the southbound signal displays this: 1 red ball, 1 yellow ball, 1 green left arrow, 1 orange right arrow, and 1 green right arrow. They haven't put separate signals for left & right turns yet, but I am confident they will since it's being done at several other intersections in Quebec City.
      The same happened to the westbound primary signal. The second red light was replaced by an orange right turn arrow.
      The eastbound signals are only 3-section now, but it displays a flashing green ball which is also the same as a left turn priority.
      Google Maps hasn't captured street view yet for after the signals were replaced.
      I'm honestly dissappointed about the signals being replaced, because I'm a huge fan of Quebec's fancy horizontal signal style. Quebec City and Montreal island stopped using it, but it continues being used and installed for existing, new, or upgraded setups. I have several videos scheduled from August, to January that have new and upgraded setups with that fancy horizontal signal style, and even with shaped lenses!
