going eastbound on 57th does not need a left turn light at all. | They have to adjust the signal timing when they change the lane configuration. I don't know what's out there, but from the diagram I would assume it's a split-phase traffic signal westbound/eastbound...so that means one side of the traffic goes first and then the other due to the geometry.
If it's "trial" it probably means permanent since they will be painting the roads lol. It's a "trial" for the drivers to get used to.
In theory it should work since the work is based on a traffic analysis/models...
Like some of you guys said before..I think they need to fix the volume along knight st bridge and not the approaching intersections lol

going eastbound on 57th does not need a left turn light at all. | you are right, it's the westbound lane that is getting a SECOND left turn lane. Quote:

They need to throw in a left turn light for kingsway and fraser..going towards downtown on kingsway turning left to fraser. During peak hours that left turn is brutal. You have a line up of busses and cars that go pass the entire left turning lane itself. You only get to see like 2 cars or 1 bus doing the turn every light. So if you're at the back of the line you have to wait through 5 or 6 lights until you can actually turn left. I usually try to avoid it. But I guess knight and 33rd/57th are even worse lol. I'm glad they're finally doing something about knight and 57th.

It will definitely make it easier to get back onto the left turn lane after getting gas from Petro Canada. I dun think it's necessary to have a 2nd left turn lane, but I'm not against it either.
