Does anyone know of a jurisdiction that provides detailed information on their traffic signal timings? #Toronto provides this data for $120 per intersection (ouch), just wondering if there are other options out there.
I feel like this might be something @giltay knows something about?
@gnomon No, that's not my thing, sorry.
@giltay thanks anyhow, sorry about that
Have you tried a FOIA request for the toronto data?
@mhoye there is a specific argument¹ claiming that FOI requests do not apply to signal timing:

"The public can request Current Signal Timing, Historical Signal Timing and Signalised Intersection Drawings on payment of the requisite fees. These records cannot be provided under a Freedom of Information (FOI) request. […]"

"Under City by-laws, City staff are authorised to provide these records for a fee. The authority to charge the fee is enshrined in items 104, 105 and 108 of the Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 441, Fees PDFand Charges, Appendix C – Schedule 2, Transportation Services."

@Ben Zanin @mhoye @Madeleine Bonsma-Fisher, PhD Yeah - but if you ask for all the details of their projects with Miovision I bet that would be included
