I would find that to be an unbelievable option. Control systems are just too ubiquitous, and you only have to look at Europe to find examples of far more complex arrangements. Heck, I would suggest that Dutch systems for their car, cycle, and pedestrian network intersections are far more complex than any LRT-involved intersection here in Waterloo Region.
The true problem, IMNSHO, the simplicity and lack of smarts in Waterloo Region's traffic signal system, running on pretty much 1970s-era technologies.
