Traffic Signals

Call 604-820-3761 for emergency & non-emergency service.

There are three basic types of traffic signals utilized throughout the District of Mission:

1. Fully actuated signals; these are the standard traffic signals, found at London & Access to Junction Mall, 7th & Hurd, 7th & Grand, 14th & Cedar, 11th & Stave Lake. The traffic signals along Highways # 7 & 11 are operated and maintained by the Ministry of Transportation and Highways. For the contact number to report concerns about traffic signals along Highways # 7 & 11 click here.
2. Pedestrian actuated signals; these are where the main or through street has a flashing green light until a pedestrian activates the signal. The signal then progresses through a normal green, yellow and red cycle, which allows the pedestrian to cross the street and then it returns to flashing green. Pedestrian actuated signals are found at Hurd & Scott, 7th & Strachan, Murray & 3rd, Cedar Connector & Access to 11-Lougheed Mall.
3. Flashing yellow and red signals, these are to alert the motorist to an approaching stop sign (for flashing red) and caution (for flashing yellow) intersection. Two intersections have flashing signals, 7th & Cedar and 7th & Stave Lake.

The installation of traffic signals is determined by established guidelines called warrants. Traffic warrants take into consideration a variety of issues to establish if a traffic signal is required. Traffic warrants take into consider such things as traffic volumes, pedestrian volumes, number of left or right turn movements, etc. For more information about traffic signal warrants or to request a traffic signal, please contact the Engineering Department at 604-820-3736 or sabushawashi@mission.ca.
