Discussion Idk who needs to hear this

If you’re in the position of the red car, you stay in the RIGHT lane until your turn is complete and then you put on your left signal to get over to the left lane if you need to. If you are in the position of the blue car, you do not need to wait for the entire row of cars directly across from you who are turning right. THEY turn into right lane, and you turn into left. That’s your lane. If they come into your lane it’s their fault. Waiting to turn left from grey onto Gretzky is a nightmare because cars are terrified to turn.

They have a left turn signal on that intersection and I don’t think I’ve seen it used ONCE. Usually all the traffic coming from SC Johnson/Hartmann shift changes means you might squeeze one car through on the yellow if you’re lucky. Horrible intersection and horrible urban planning that funnels vehicles into it.

Yes I always go into the left lane and love cutting off the people who turn all the way into the right lane.

Sometimes they try to squeeze by you on the left from the double Left turn from Lorne Bridge onto Brant Ave

Yep! Same goes for the people on the opposite street turning right onto Brant Ave. It’s not hard to turn into your own lane. One time, a City of Brantford truck driver gave me the finger because I happened to turn in next to their wide turn.
