Cycling in Waterloo Region

[ijmorlan]

I really think the core problem isn't the sign, but the roll curbs. The vast majority of drivers believe that the point of roll curbs is to allow them to drive to the other side of the curb. I can't even really say I blame them, as I have yet to figure out what other purpose they serve.

We need to stop putting roll curbs along pedestrian spaces. Barrier curbs are the standard signal for "this is not a driveable area".

I asked once about the roll curbs on King in Waterloo and was told "accessibility". I'm not convinced, but that was the answer.

You were inadvertently misled by the person telling you that. Please note the use of Parliamentary language

As somebody else pointed out, if the accessibility explanation were true, then roll curbs would be universal, not just something used where there are bicycle lanes.
