ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

It's all online.

In general, “‘motor vehicle’ […] does not include a street car”, but many sections refer to “motor vehicle or street car” or “motor vehicle, street car, road-building machine, self-propelled implement of husbandry or farm tractor” (covering most of the other powered default exclusions).

In this case, it's up to the city:
Quote:145 (1) The council of a municipality may by by-law prohibit a driver or street car operator approaching, at an intersection, a traffic control signal showing a circular green or green arrow indication from entering the intersection unless traffic in front of him or her is moving in a manner that would reasonably lead him or her to believe he or she can clear the intersection before the signal indication changes to a circular red indication.  R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 145 (1).
