I was cleaning out some old video files and I came across this gem from Associate Professor Brian Doucet at the UofW School of Planning (bmdoucet on the bad site).
This was taken in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada the city where I went to University.
It boggles my mind that Canadian traffic engineering can be so broken that something like this gets built.
How did nobody along the path to getting this created say, "why are we building it like this when you'd have to be fucking insane to cycle here?"
I was commenting on the location given in the map link (off ramp), but I’ve just had a look at the on-ramp section and I do see the concern. I would be worried about cars crossing, too, and I’m not sure how that could be addressed.
Where I live (another part of Ontario), we don’t have any protections at all for cyclists near high on/off ramps, and it’s terrifying.
