Northfield / 85 Exchange upgrades?

I wasn't saying that there are "no u-turn" signs. I was saying that there aren't any "yes u-turn" signs. They may or may not be required, but I think they would help.

I know these aren't final designs, but here are some PIC boards about it:

* https://rapidtransit.regionofwaterloo.ca...oards1.pdf
* https://rapidtransit.regionofwaterloo.ca...oards2.pdf
* https://rapidtransit.regionofwaterloo.ca...oards3.pdf
* https://rapidtransit.regionofwaterloo.ca...oards4.pdf

Here's a staff report from September 2013: https://rapidtransit.regionofwaterloo.ca...ations.pdf

According to that report, "U-turns will be appropriately signed and given advanced turn signals. The rapidway will act as a median and provides sufficient width (approximately 8 metres) to allow drivers to wait and make the U-turn comfortably."

While these changes will be inconvenient for some, it will actually be an improvement for most drivers. It's also better for pedestrians and transit.
