General Road and Highway Discussion

[curiouschair]

University Ave and Woolwich St has some new portable traffic lights up. This was not a controlled intersection before. I guess they're determining if they should add lights permanently.

I went by this intersection this morning, and it looks like they are installing less temporary signals at this intersection. They are suspended from wires instead of being attached to poles, but are they going to become permanent?

Edit: the draft EA that I found (http://www.waterloo.ca/en/contentresourc...-09-08.pdf) says that signals were not warranted at that intersection.

Edit 2: that was a draft; this is the final version of the EA: http://www.waterloo.ca/en/contentresourc...-10-28.pdf

I saw that too, the semi-permanent lights haven't been activated yet and it's been some time since they've been up.

A friend of mine in the area was noting that the school buses couldn't make it around the new roundabout at where Woolwich makes a 90 degree turn. Maybe it's just the plan for the school buses to go over the middle of the round about?
