New Pedestrian Signals at 98 Street and 101 Avenue Activated

Pedestrian activated traffic signals at the intersection of 98 Street and 101 Avenue are now available for pedestrians to use.

The signals remain green for traffic travelling north/south on 98 Street and only change to red when a pedestrian activates the signal. Stop signs are in place for motorists travelling east/west on 101 Avenue; after coming to a full stop at the stop signs, motorists may turn onto 98 street when traffic permits. 

Pedestrians are reminded to press the button and wait for traffic to stop before crossing the road.

Upgrades to the intersection, including street lighting and a pedestrian island, were installed to increase driver awareness of pedestrians crossing the four lane intersection.
