I question why the speeds are so low, in some cases, lower than the speed limit for cars, even when separated by a curb.
The speed limits in the city are the road speed limit (“RESUME SAFE SPEED”) unless specified otherwise by a yellow diamond sign. Where yellow diamond signs are present, this represents the maximum permitted speed due to curve geometry. All of these limits are visible in the charts on the Functional design Plans available on the Region’s Site.
They really should do at least speed limit + 10km/h. Areas with a 50km/h limit normally have motor traffic at 60km/h, on top of which the LRVs are running on tracks mostly in a centre reservation far from any pedestrians so there is no need to limit their speed so much. O well. It should still do pretty good time with signal priority.
