Cycling in Waterloo Region

[danbrotherston]

I mean...none of that is accidental.

The turn radii are huge...so the crossing always has to be set back...that could be managed by routing the trail well, but that was also never going to happen.

And that traffic signal post...

Well, it doesn't really matter...what's important is the pavement markings are there, so cyclists will no longer be automatically at fault in case of a collision. Cops will have to work hard to justify blaming them.

Edit: Wait wait wait....after looking at Google Maps...that post is new and they did significant reworking there. Okay...they can't blame this on retrofitting...once again I'm going to have to go back to putting this on our regional engineers being incapable or unwilling to build good infrastructure. Like...honestly...these people should go back to school. *sigh*...I was going to say if I was this bad at my job, I'd be fired, but I have been in a job where my job description was a lie and my real tasks were completely different, so...I guess it's a systemic failure.
