what is more fun to navigate is when they put the bus lane in that they do have they had to shift over the two existing lanes of traffic making one of the 2 turning lanes much shorter and much more inaccessible.
So I can go down the one lane and hope the person in front of me isn't going to try to go into the plaza because if they do I won't be able to proceed.
if it is clear I have to hope traffic traffic is evenly distributed between the 2 lanes, if not hope there isn't 6 cars in front of m because than I can't access the other lane. (because of traffic going to tim hortons/avoiding tim hotons or trying to turn left to go into the plaza after the lights there is a definite preference for the left most lane).
And because of how deep you can access it, I'll start to drive in the turn lane as soon as I can, and if there are a few cars ahead of me I'd want to move to the other lane to even it out but I have to watch for cars that were in the straight through traffic that were planning to use that lane. Something that doesn't come up as far as I am aware of in any other intersection in the region.

before they put the bus stop there both turn lanes started at about the same place so none of these issues occurred previously.
Currently the bus uses the lane when it is a turn lane, so the bus already jumps traffic, Im not certain how often traffic gets backed up beyond that point but I don't think it is often
