Road design, safety and Vision Zero

[dtkvictim]

I don’t entirely understand the signalized crossing comment.  Is it just the stop sign on Seagram that keeps it from being a normal intersection?  Or what would change to make it a full signal intersection?

I could be completely wrong on this, but my understand was that signalized intersections in Ontario require far-side traffic lights for both directions. The fact that the signals for both directions are on the same pole, and for one direction are on the near side of the intersection implies that the lights are for the crossing, not for the intersection.

That the stop bar for northbound traffic is before the intersection and before the point where you would initiate your left turn to Seagram is coincidental, but still means you need to wait.
