ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
(01-14-2016, 01:54 PM)Viewfromthe42 Wrote: There will likely have to be a campaign that sets up bylaws preventing vehicular traffic from ever being stopped on tracks. The issue will be that for left turns, there will be a temptation to treat a center-running, bi-directional track as a place to wait for opposing traffic to clear. Drivers will have a green light to go left, but will pull out from the turning lane, and will straddle the tracks.
[...]
We already allow (by convention, not law) several cars to sit in an intersection waiting to turn left.

I doubt there will be any left turns allowed across the centre ROW that are not fully protected with a left turn arrow. There will not be any need to wait in the intersection. The LRT will have a red, and the left turning cars will have an advance green.
