ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
The no left turns one is applicable right now SammyOES. If you live at King and Victoria, you will see times where a north- or south-bound vehicle on King wants to illegally turn left. Traffic going straight (and/or pedestrians crossing) prevent them from doing so, and an entire light cycle yields only that one car being able to turn, because it is a single lane on King. I have sat and watched a few times when I've seen multiple people signaling left, and there have been people who have had to wait 3-4+ light cycles to get across Victoria, just because of people wanting to flout the traffic laws. Had all the left turners gone one of the other ways to get from King to Victoria (Wellington/Francis being main ones), they all would have gotten through faster *and* legally.

We also are about to start testing tracks, cleaning tracks, doing catenary work, and we don't want to have delays because some self-important lawbreaker wants to park on the tracks.
