What a stupid example. You see that orange sign? The one that indicates a lane closure where two lanes merge into one? Of course traffic is going to be backed up. You have two lanes filtering into one. Same thing is happening daily, both east and west on the Gardiner. Where traffic merges from three lanes to two. Duh!
Its a good example, that's the crap that slows traffic. You can't put two lanes anywhere in downtown without that happening, especially along Bloor and Yonge.
You really couldn't make a worse comparison. Dundas, for the most part is limited to just one lane of traffic each way. College, while it does have a section with bike lanes, also has a lot of areas where it has two lanes of traffic each direction, which make traffic flow better. That's the reason Waze will direct you across town on College vs. Dundas. The bike lane has nothing to do with it.
Sure. Right. No orange signs below
Dundas St. creates its own bike lane organically for the more intrepid cyclist.
I had a quick chore to do downtown today. I looked at my bikes with love, remotely started my vehicle, got into it five minutes later when the steering wheel got properly heated, drove downtown with a big smile and came back with a ton of groceries from whole foods that wouldn’t fit into my bike bag.
