How do I request a new traffic signal to be installed or request a revision to an existing signal timing?
All new signal installations are subject to the Province of Ontario’s Signal justification process. The warrant utilizes the intersection traffic volumes, delay to cross traffic, collision history, pedestrian volume, and pedestrian delay to determine if the signal is justified. Revisions to existing signal timings may be considered by Staff after a review of the intersection’s operations is undertaken, and it is determined that the intersection’s operation can be improved. Requests can be made by contacting the Traffic Division at 905-688-5601 extension 1660 and/or sending in a written request to the Traffic Division at the City of St. Catharines, 50 Church Street, PO Box 3012, St. Catharines, Ontario L2R 7C2.
