Road safety improvements coming in 2026 

Guelph, Ont. June 8, 2026–The City is installing new traffic signals, pedestrian crossovers and bicycle signals across Guelph this year. You will notice these traffic control measures installed throughout 2026. These changes are guided by the City’s Vision Zero strategy and will help improve road safety for people getting around Guelph by walking, cycling, riding transit, using mobility devices and driving. 

Traffic signals 

Each year, we install new traffic signals around the city. This year, we’ll install a new traffic signal at the following intersection: 

  • Woodlawn Road West at Michener Road  

We’re also replacing existing traffic signals at the following intersections during planned road reconstruction work: 

  • York Road at Watson Road North/South  
  • York Road at Watson Parkway North/South 
  • Speedvale Avenue at Fire Station #2 
  • Wyndham Street North at Carden Street 
  • Wyndham Street North at Macdonell Street 

Pedestrian crossovers 

Pedestrian crossovers help you cross a road. At a pedestrian crossover, people driving must wait until pedestrians have crossed the entire road before proceeding. We are installing pedestrian crossovers at the following locations: 

  • Paisley Road at Rosewood Avenue/Goldie Avenue 
  • Meyer Drive at Laverne Avenue 
  • Edinburgh Road North at Crimea Street/Robinson Avenue 

Bicycle signals 

Bicycle signals, which are required by provincial regulations, will be added at the following locations:  

  • Woodlawn Road West and Nicklin Road 
  • York Road at Watson Road North/South  
  • York Road at Watson Parkway North/South  
  • Speedvale Avenue at Fire Station #2  
  • Wyndham Street North at Carden Street  
  • Wyndham Street North at Macdonell Street
