Lane reductions are now in place on Ottawa, just west of Westmount. Not sure how far it reaches, likely to Fischer-Hallman.

I certainly don't have the answer, and especially not for northern Ontario, but I certainly would prefer means of transport that are not buses for inter-city travel (which is the topic of this discussion).

Isn't GO Transit rolling out more bus routes beyond the edges of the rail network? Procurement takes time.

The monitoring devices are typically on poles that look like shepherd's hooks attached to a signal pole. A sign, "Traffic surveillance device" is also attached to the pole.

Nice to see Miovision expanding its use locally. Inspiring company.

They look exactly like cameras to my non-expert eye (but of course what I’m actually seeing is the outer dome which covers the device itself).

Based on the press release it sounds like cameras that better detect different types of vehicles/road users to collect data like that - but not new timing or detection sensors for the signals themselves.

Yes, they are cameras, feed into a computer vision system for automated counts. The emergence of cheap high quality computer vision systems has resulted in a lot of sensors now being implemented as a camera + computer vision. Just like happened with computers, specialized hardware is expensive, and using software + standardized hardware is much cheaper. They call them sensors to distinguish them from things that actually record visually useful video for surveillance.
