General Road and Highway Discussion

This isn't inherent to roundabouts, of course, and optimistically this will improve as motorists in the Region acclimate to roundabouts, but I don't think it's accurate to say "possibly failing to yield drivers." I would say that the majority of motorists around here do not yield to people on foot as they should. (...)

Walking downtown, as I do, I actually find that most drivers will let a pedestrian cross (at a stop sign, or turning right on red/green) or slow down for pedestrians (jaywalking at Victoria Park).  I actually feel pretty good about the urban driving etiquette in Kitchener.
