Cycling in Waterloo Region

[Acitta]

I frequently use the MUTs at the Homer Watson/Ottawa roundabout, generally when I am heading to Zehrs. I find that most drivers treat me as if I am a pedestrian and stop at the crossings. Once, a driver exiting the roundabout came to a screeching halt upon seeing me on the sidewalk. I am a careful cyclist and don't assume that drivers will stop especially since some places where MUTs cross roads have signs saying stop for pedestrians and some don't. Some drivers stop even when there is no sign and some do not. Without stop lights it is like Russian roulette.
