Vancouver began a two-year pilot of Google's Project Green Light on July 17, 2026: Google analyzes aggregated Google Maps driving data to recommend traffic-signal timing changes at select intersections. Recommendations are advisory only — the city didn't share its own signal-timing data and can withdraw with 60 days' notice. No results reported yet.
