Guaranteed, most of the guys that blow through either notice the sign and don't care or have been driving through for so long, they don't even notice.

I think they tried a lot of things on that intersection.
i remembered 9-10 years ago, there was a NO LEFT TURN sign on there temporary, and there was a triangle island just temporary, saw a lot of people get pulled over, when i was walking home from school

From what I recall.. the only reason they are putting up these signs and barriers is to limit the unnecessary traffic which passes through 45th.. considering how 45th is not a main street yet there are lots of vehicles that go through that street everyday.

Drove by this morning, they made Elliot narrower at the 4 way stop by drawing a line closer to the sidewalk. Basically a small island on the N and S of the intersection. This now makes it more difficult to left turn onto Elliot via 45th. Which is what they want to achieve.
And I am also told that barriers will soon be up to force a right turn from 45th.
Also, I wasn't able to get the exact day the signs went up, only an approx. one. Posted via RS Mobile
No real picture cause it's kinda hard to take one of the lines.
This changes my everyday route now, since I can no longer turn left onto 45th ave. fuckkkk

It's a fucking mess now. Everyone that used the intersection before are now seeing it changed for the first time. This means lots of ppl stopping their cars in the MIDDLE of the intersection trying to figure out how to do left turns, or people still stopping on Elliot thinking there is still a stop sign there.

Its probably part of the same initiative to make the city more cycling friendly, like the recent dunsmuir lane dedication to bikes only. I guess its easier for cyclist to deal with just the north south flow of cars, rather then from all 4 directions.

I e-mail the story to Michael Klassen, columnist at 24hrs newspaper.
He is going to come down and listen to what the residents have to say.
Meet Michael Klassen
Friday June 25, 2010 2:45PM
At
Waverley elementary school (Clarendon and 46th)
I talked to 30+ neighbours on St Margarets St. and we have 90% against the median barrier 10% no comment, and 0% in support of the median barrier.
The stats definitely is telling the City something. Posted via RS Mobile | |
