It is the time of year when people want to move quickly, making their way to the people and places that matter most and Viva yellow is the ticket!<\/p>\n<p>Catching a ride on the new Viva yellow is easy because service runs every 15 minutes and the stations tell you when your next ride will arrive. There will be customer service representatives out all week along the corridor to answer your questions and help you navigate the new system safely.<\/p>\n<p>Winter represents its own set of hazards, so no matter how you get around, it\u2019s important to use caution and stay alert, especially when things are new along Davis Drive. The images that were \u201c<strong>next<\/strong>\u201d have become \u201c<strong>now<\/strong>\u201d as a reality.<\/p>\n<p><strong>drivers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The red asphalt on the rapidway is for Viva rapid transit vehicles only. If you\u2019re driving, and you notice an empty lane beside you in traffic, take a quick look to make sure you\u2019re not entering the rapidway.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from Viva, you may see other vehicles on the rapidway, like fire and police vehicles and ambulances. That\u2019s by design, because everyone wants emergency vehicles can get to their destinations as quickly as possible. Maintenance vehicles also have access to maintain the rapidway and ensure it\u2019s operating at peak performance.<\/p>\n<p>Also, drivers now have the use of left-turn and U-turn signals at each major intersection. The protected movement through the intersection makes it safe and efficient to get where you\u2019re going quickly. Be sure to stop behind the stop line on the road to trigger the left-turn signal sensors under the pavement.<\/p>\n<p><strong>transit riders and pedestrians<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Boarding Viva rapid transit at a vivastation means crossing to the dedicated centre lanes. Push the buttons at any corner to activate the pedestrian signals.<\/p>\n<p>Now, it might be tempting to take a stroll down the rapidway, or cross mid-block to get to the other side, but it\u2019s dangerous and also illegal. The signals at intersections are there for your safety and convenience.<\/p>\n<p>No matter how you\u2019re travelling Davis, we hope you enjoy your new surroundings this holiday season. We encourage you to come out, shop, dine, visit and enjoy. Construction crews are finishing up their work before snow starts to fly this winter. Next is now\u2026 come out and see the difference!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s great to see everyone taking advantage of the new rapidway now open on Davis Drive [read the news release].
