New protected left-turn signal at Brock Road and Pickering Parkway in Pickering

Whitby, Ontario – In support of Durham Vision Zero, The Regional Municipality of Durham has modified a left-turn signal at the Brock Road (Regional Road 1) and Pickering Parkway intersection, in the City of Pickering.

Where: The southbound to eastbound left-turn signal at Brock Road and Pickering Parkway in Pickering.

When: The new signal was installed recently and is currently in operation.

Why: To reduce collisions at this intersection, a separate, fully protected left-turn has been installed to improve safety for motorists making a southbound left-turn from Brock Road onto Pickering Parkway. New traffic signal indications were installed specifically for this movement to ensure motorists only turn left when the green left-turn arrow is visible. The northbound traffic signal indications will remain red for motorists going straight.

Note: This initiative is in support of Durham Vision Zero, a long-term plan to ensure a safer transportation system that sees no lives lost or serious injuries on Durham’s roadways. Learn more at durham.ca/VisionZero.
