West Nipissing council considers extending red light duration after pedestrian button press for improved safety at select intersections.

West Nipissing council is evaluating the introduction of delayed green lights at select intersections to improve pedestrian safety. Proposed by Councillor Kris Rivard, the initiative aims to extend the duration of red traffic lights after pedestrians press the walk button, enhancing visibility. Targeted intersections include King and Front, Nipissing and Front, and Coursol and Front Streets. The council plans to repair current traffic lights before implementing this system.
