But that being said, there doesn't appear to be anything inherently dangerous about the intersection in question (judging by the Google map; I've never actually driven it). The problem is when some mouth breather imbecile gets loaded and gets behind the wheel. |
It is only inherently dangerous when someone on Wanuskewin Rd or RR3052 needs to cross hwy11 or make a left onto it (which seems like virtually every time I drive hwy11). The sightlines are OK, but the speed of approaching cars seems too difficult for many people to judge or process.
When it comes to this kind of crossing I tend to be overly cautious when driving onto a high speed hwy, I give several hundred meters of space before pulling ahead (and I'm a hard accelerator) but there are usually too many vehicles to do this here, and stopping in the median is the worst thing to do because 1 in every 5 SB vehicles is making the left turn onto Wanuskewin so you gotta do all 5 lanes at once (and the crown of the road makes it hard to tell if approaching vehicles are in the left or right lane). Also those left turning vehicles make it hard to judge timing because it takes them a long time and distance to slow down. Knowing how many careless drivers there are in general I get incredibly anxious at locations like this, as do others and it only makes conditions worse.
