Travesty.
I recently found out from someone in the city's transit department that Thunder Bay will be getting roundabouts soon. There was a policy against them for a while because of concerns over local drivers' ability to navigate them.
We put curb extensions on one street and dozens of people drove over them, a few people wrecked their vehicles. The city had to put reflective barriers on them to prevent additional incidents. We also have a problem with people driving through red lights at pedestrian crossings, with the most common excuse being "I didn't know the light was there", which makes me wonder how those people survive driving in other cities without advance knowledge of where all the traffic lights are located. We've had a few people get run over by turning left onto a cross-street at a level intersection with off-ramps. They think that if you miss the off-ramp, you can still turn left when you get to the actual street.
The scariest, though, and I think anywhere in Ontario will have this problem, is the people in through lanes who start driving when the left turn green lights come on.
