I ride it every day and there's only a single tiny sign at Caroline/Allen to indicate it's a shared pathway. It seems like pedestrians think you're riding illegally on the sidewalk, drivers don't look for cyclists at intersections, and even lots of cyclists don't seem to know it's a MUT and ride on Caroline or the LRT tracks instead. I've seen lots of people asking the Region about this on Twitter and promises that they're "looking into it" for months.
In contrast the MUT at King/Weber has signs every 10 feet saying "Shared Pathway" and "Cyclists Yield to Pedestrians".
Lol, you want a delayed signage situation, King St. north, as well as Weber St. both have little to no signage. Also have been "looking into it" for (in the case of Weber) years.
As for intersections, there is no signage, because cars are not expected to watch for cyclists, because legally cyclists are not allowed to cross without dismounting, because well, I won't finish this sentence, but suffices to say, I'm not impressed.
