King is now open up to the Francis intersection, giving three directions full movement at that intersection.
In seeing this intersection, I'm noticing bad habits already. Drivers coming northwest along King will use the furthest point of the crosswalk as their stop line, completely blocking pedestrians. Drivers coming southeast on Francis using the furthest point of the rails (!!!) as their stop line, with the actual stop line about half a car length back of the start of the embedded track.
The first incidents of collisions won't necessarily involve the trains, and those that do will be blatantly obvious.
