Toronto Complete Streets Guidelines Street Design for Intersections Intersection Elements and Geometric Design 9.5 Left-turn queue boxes indicate a designated area for cyclists to make a left turn. Arrows indicate the path of cyclists through an intersection. CYCLIST-RELATED FEATURES BICYCLE LANE MARKINGS Pavement markings indicating the paths of cyclists, e.g., a bicycle lane through the intersection or between vehicle through-lanes and right-turn lanes at intersections, to increase awareness at conflict points. CROSS RIDES Cross rides indicate where cyclists may ride to cross a roadway at controlled crossings, alongside pedestrians. Adequate width and attention to design are required for the crosswalk and cross ride to prevent conflicts among cyclists and more vulnerable pedestrians of all ages and abilities. LEFT-TURN QUEUE BOX Pavement markings indicating a safe and designated area for cyclist making a left-turn maneuver. May be accompanied by a right turn on red restriction if the queue box is in the path of vehicular right turns. BICYCLE QUEUE BOXES A marked area where most cyclists are anticipated to make two-stage crossings to make a left turn. For pedestrian safety and clear sightlines, avoid pushing crosswalks far back from the intersection. Skip lines indicate cycling infrastructure through an intersection. 156
Toronto Complete Streets Guidelines Street Design for Intersections Intersection Elements and Geometric Design 9.5 Cyclists yield to pedestrians boarding a streetcar on Roncesvalles Ave. in Toronto. TRANSIT-RELATED FEATURES TRANSIT LANES Dedicated lanes for public transit, such as HOV or bus lanes and designated transitways for buses, streetcars or light rail vehicles. These enable greater frequency and reliability of transit service. TRANSIT STOPS (STOPS, PLATFORMS, AND CROSSINGS) Locations where transit riders wait for, board, and leave transit vehicles. Transit stops may be curbside or on platforms in the middle of the roadway. They may also include transit branding/signs, transit shelters/benches, wayfinding, schedule or real-time information and transit payment systems. TRANSIT QUEUE JUMP LANES Queue jump lanes are typically extended right turn lanes that provide opportunities for buses to move to the front of the queue. Considered where heavy volumes of mixed traffic negatively impact transit service, depending on space and impacts to other road users. TRAFFIC REGULATIONS Stopping, parking or turn restrictions, as this can improve performance of through movements for transit and other vehicles. BUS HELD UP BEHIND TRAFFIC QUEUE JUMP LANE ALLOWING BUS PRIORITY Before and after Queue Jump Lanes are added. 157
