TTC bus ran a red at King & Cherry
Hi everyone, I’m posting to understand whether there’s any legitimate transit-signal scenario that would allow what I saw today.
Around 11:35am today, I was driving on King St E at the Cherry St intersection and a TTC bus drove aggressively and ran the red light, proceeding through the intersection before the signal turned green. The light changed to green shortly after, but the bus entered while it was still red.
At this intersection, is there any special TTC/transit signal phase (priority, separate indications, etc.) that would make this legal for a bus, or is this simply a red-light violation?
If anyone knows how the signals work at King & Cherry, I’d appreciate the details. Also, what’s the best way to report this to TTC?
