Red reverts, also called “revert reds,” pose a safety hazard to people on bikes, according to some councillors and cycling advocates.
Coun. Jeff Leiper is bringing a report to the city’s transportation committee next month aimed at putting an end to the practice.
A red revert occurs when a vehicle trips a sensor at an intersection, leading to a traffic light change.
Before the light changes, the sensor does a final check to ensure there’s still a car or bike on the sensor.
