Now only if they could find a way to keep people driving down the tracks to King Street.
Have you seen this frequently, recently? I’m just wondering because last winter I recall that it was obvious from marks in the snow that it was a regular occurrence, but lately I haven’t seen it. Except for one time when I started down the space between the buildings leading from King to Hughes Lane only to see a car coming at me. I just stopped and motioned him to turn around and didn’t give up. To his credit, after he backed up he opened his window and said that he hadn’t seen the sign before. So it appears to be an honest mistake — to be fair, the space between the buildings does look like it could be a laneway, with street-running rail.
I think for the reverse direction, people turning off King, it’s pretty much fixed by the extra concrete they have placed, the no-turn signs, and the straight-ahead-only green arrows on the traffic lights. I still say some bollards would help further, including automatic ones between the rails connected to the railway signalling system.
