One way streets can be both helpful, and problematic, they can be helpful in allowing the city to fit vehicle access in places without enough room for two way traffic, as well as using direction restrictions to prevent rat running through neighbourhoods.
However, they can also be used to create urban highways through our downtown core.
This looks like it would be the former.
Yes! When I lived in Hamilton it was amazing how fast you could get from one end of Hamilton (especially West to East) to the other end, when you were down the mountain. Quite often you could hit every green light until the two one-way streets merged.
