New Pedestrian Half-signal Crossing: Coverdale Road at Golf Club Road

[RIVERVIEW, NB] – The Town of Riverview wishes to advise the public that the new pedestrian half-signal on Coverdale Road at Golf Club Road installed late fall 2024 will be commissioned Wednesday, April 23 or Thursday April 24, weather permitting. 

The new pedestrian half-signal will include traffic signals for vehicles on Coverdale Road and pedestrian signals for people wishing to cross. 

Half-signals stay green until a button is pressed, then switch to amber and red, just like a regular traffic light, bringing cars to a full stop. The person crossing is then signaled with a "walk" sign. 

The change will allow pedestrians to safely cross Coverdale Road to access the riverfront trail, which previously had been a challenge as one of the busiest roads in town, with three lanes of traffic. 

Signage indicating a new traffic signal ahead will be placed on Coverdale Road as will stop bars indicating to motorists where to stop and placards placed on the poles showing pedestrians how to activate the signals.
