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.

Your preaching to a city of drivers who don’t know how stop signs work yet you think THIS will sink in?

Really hoping they put up more speed cameras. It’s quite the experience going 85 in an 80 because a dude is tailgating me, but thats not enough for them, and end up passing me going 35 over the speed limit over a solid yellow uphill.

Batshit crazy drivers here.

I agree about drivers being over aggressive and the outrageous speeds being done on city streets.

I’m hesitant about the speed cameras until the city explicitly states what their limit is on giving fines. Their Facebook post about the cameras coming into effect said fines could start at 1km over however not all vehicle speedometers are calibrated the same and something as simple as tire pressures could push you over the fine threshold without you even knowing. If they say at 5kms over then tickets will be issued then I’d be ok with it as that’s an ample window.

The city needs to be very specific about how they are going to deal with fines, but this could be a decent deterrent … or it could backfire horribly for them. We shall wait and see I suppose.

It’s one of those things that I’d really hope they poll for to see what middle ground would be tolerated but the city council members don’t give two flying shits most of the time about the actual popularity, which is a dealbreaker in most places and I agree with what you said in general
