This is a really interesting question timc. It seems that the LRT is signed as a rail crossing per the Highway Traffic Act. However the entire area of the crossing is a bridge. The U-turns signs could be permitted at Parkside Dr in the West and Conestogo Rd in the East as these are likely greater than 150m from "the bridge" but I haven't measured it.
I can't see how the cut throughs for the fire department can be used by regular traffic.
I’m a bit confused. Are you saying the bridge is a railway crossing? But on the bridge there is no interaction between the LRT lanes and any other traffic — it’s just LRT lanes (a railway) next to regular lanes (a road), not a crossing at all. The closest situations that could reasonably be called crossings are at either end, at Northfield and Conestogo and where the spur line and LRT tracks cross Northfield (well, half of Northfield in the case of the LRT tracks).
