Alternatively, if you don't want to allow two lane right turns, you can make the yellow line move to the right, forcing cars to merge into the tight turn lane.

That's correct. My suggestion is to make both lanes right turn only, or force cars out of the middle lane before the intersection. That's what's impossible with the exception.

Because taxis are allowed to go straight through during certain times of day. That exception needs to be squashed..I don't think the HTA allows for a right-turn sign with a designator "only taxis allowed between 10-7" or something along those lines.

The problem is, at least, from my understanding, is you can only do this if you put in dedicated transit signals AND ban taxis. The first is solvable, the second one has heavy objections even on this forum. Also, as discussed, it only solves half the problem (the other one being blocking the box...

In no way should people be expected to know all of the special rules that govern individual streets in the province. Imagine driving in another city, and having to read up on all of the traffic rules that are special. No, what's needed is clear and consistent sign-age, which is made easier by...

For sure there are constraints and the guy had no idea what he was talking about. However, it does point to common sense things not being possible because of this huge beauracratic red tape, and these frustrations go way beyond just signs, it's part of what makes everyone feel government is no...

Unfortunately this will have the effect of pulling the rug out from the current younger generations. Unlike the boomers, millenials are less likely to own a house. If they buy a house, it's later in life and will have to spend more of their working years paying interest instead of saving. The...

I almost agree. I've had an EV for 2 years now, and almost at 40k km. In general, the only time I felt a bit of range anxiety is when we were doing a family road trip up north of sudbury and down through manitoulin island ,then across on the ferry to Tobermory. Apart from that, standard road...

To be fair it's conquered land, not stolen. I think giving naming preference and land acknowledgements is over and above what usually happens in these cases. There is probably no unconquered land that exists if you go back far enough.

It's a risk and a trade-off like any other. Most people, especially young professionals that make the move, are extremely unlikely to suffer medical issues and conditions that are severe enough that they can't do their job, for example. If you have a medical condition that is easily managed with...

No, this isn't going to change anything materially. I think the pandemic showed that solving the climate problem is intractable, especially solving it before the worst impacts hit. If people can't mobilize to deal with an imminent threat, no chance it happens for something that is an...

I don't think you're getting it. Unless he can magically make houses appear out of nowhere as if it were some kind of SimCity game, he's toast. A marginally better economy isn't going to sway anyone who can't afford to buy a house.

Meh, good governance takes compromise. Last I checked, blocking a stadium name change wasn't a key campaign promise. The real proof will be in the budget.

The problem is, driving in this city is such a slog now, and people are watching others break the rules, and instead of facing consequences, get rewarded for it by getting ahead. This normalizes the behaviour, and its "the norm" now to not stop at stop signs, drive up onto the crosswalk while...

I've seen signs which talk about temporary road fixes (which, are desperately needed) starting this fall and going to next spring. So, my guess is, still a long time before implementation.
