*************************
Disable advanced traffic signals between 8 p.m. and 8 a.m.

Mover: Councillor M. Shoemaker
Seconder: Councillor O. Grandinetti

Whereas many traffic signals in Sault Ste. Marie have advanced signals for the better movement of traffic during peak traffic hours; and

Whereas many drivers have experienced the situation where no other vehicles are at the intersection and the advanced traffic signal is illuminated; and

Whereas during off-peak traffic hours advanced traffic signals serve only to delay vehicles for a longer period of time at intersections;

Now therefore be it resolved that staff investigate and report on the feasibility of disabling advanced traffic signals at all or mostly all of the intersections in the city that have advanced signals from 8 p.m. until 8 a.m.
