Pedestrian signals come with an audible tone and visual countdown as additional safety features.<\/p>\n<p>The stations will include arched glass canopies inspired by transportation architecture from historic and modern European examples. The 27-metre glass canopy will offer passengers protection from the elements, and include a nine-metre enclosed and heated waiting area. At the stations, you can enjoy all the existing Viva technologies you love: off-board fare collection, real-time arrivals information, Presto payment and new card readers. Safety and accessibility features include textured surfaces near platform edges, level boarding from the platform to the bus, a public address system for updating riders, security cameras and an emergency call button.<\/p>\n<p>Once the rapidway opens on Sunday, drivers need to be aware of how the street has changed as they make turns on Davis Drive. <strong>Red asphalt indicates a bus only lane, so drive with care<\/strong>. Emergency vehicles are permitted to access the rapidways should they need to, but they will have their flashing lights on for safety.<\/p>\n<p>In just a few short days the wait will be over, and we can all celebrate the end of construction and the beginning of rapid transit in Newmarket!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The rapidway along Davis Drive from Yonge Street to the 404 opens for service Sunday.\u00a0 Viva yellow will start rolling down Davis Drive at 6:52 am, starting at the 404 park and ride lot and travelling westbound, and then every 15 minutes after that!
