Whitby, Ontario - Roads in Whitby are being adjusted to improve driver visibility at intersections. Durham Region is implementing Positive Offset Left Turns (POLTs) at several busy intersections as part of the Durham Vision Zero Strategic Road Safety Action Plan.

The redesign involves repositioning left-turn lanes to enhance the sightlines for drivers. This is intended to help drivers see oncoming traffic more clearly and minimize blind spots when making left turns.

These design changes are a part of Durham Region's broader strategy to address road safety through their Vision Zero plan. This approach focuses on innovative road design to enhance safety for all users.

Officials from Durham Region note the updates form part of their continuous effort to improve safety outcomes on regional roads, though specific outcomes or data supporting these measures were not detailed in the announcement.
