With a running right-of-way located entirely on city streets, crossing numerous major intersections, Light Rail Trains on Surrey’s LRT system will be limited to roadway speed limits of 50-60 km/h.
By comparison, most of the other LRT systems above offer considerable segments that are off of the street and in their own rights-of-way, where trains can travel at significantly faster speeds of 80-90 km/h, unimpeded by any obstructions or surrounding traffic. Many of these segments will be located on an elevated guideway or a tunnel, similar to SkyTrain, offering full grade-separation from the street level.
In fact, Canada’s three largest Light Rail projects – Toronto’s Eglinton Crosstown, Ottawa’s Confederation Lineand Calgary’s Green Line – all feature long underground segments that are fully grade-separated from pedestrian and vehicle traffic. Fully grade-separated construction has been a common trend among modern LRT systems, including Canadian and U.S. cities such as Calgary and Seattle.
