Walking in Waterloo Region

[Smore]

I suspect that the engineer was thinking "Lodge St is a suburban industrial road, and needs to support trucks turning on to Regina."  And it's probably been over 40 years since anyone gave it another thought.

A reasonable explanation, but even the stop line, which has been repainted numerous times is past the curb cut, and that's been painted recently.  This section was also just repaved last month (of course they curbs were only patched, not replaced).

For the other, yes, the pickup truck has completely blocked, for no reason whatsoever, the ramp which enables people in wheelchairs to continue on King St. past the construction.

the geometry of this intersection is awkward and for people heading west on Lodge approaching Regina, it is difficult to see left with a couple houses close to the road and a tree.  traffic on Regina is through.  I always thought the all way stop should have been here instead of at Marshall, one block south...but I guess Marshall is the higher order street?

Wow, streetview shows the line in the same spot since 2009!
