New traffic signal timing at Ritson Road intersections in Oshawa

Whitby, Ontario – The Regional Municipality of Durham is advising residents of updated traffic signal timing at two intersections on Ritson Road (Regional Road 16) in the City of Oshawa.

When: As of March 11, the new signal timing will be implemented. Unfavourable weather conditions may influence the work schedule.

Where: At the intersections of Ritson Road and King Street, and Ritson Road and Bond Street.

Why: The traffic signals on Ritson Road are changing from having the northbound and southbound left-turn green arrows at the end of the traffic signal rotation to having it at the start.   This change is being made to provide consistency with other traffic signal timing in the Region. Similar changes have already been made on Stevenson Road and Park Road at both the King Street and Bond Street intersections.

Drivers should remember to follow all traffic control signals as outlined in the Highway Traffic Act. Learn more about traffic control signals and traffic safety at durham.ca/traffic.

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