Funny thing is that even when you do that, the walk is probably shorter than delivering to most suburban strip malls.
The HTA regulations can be changed. Cabinet can do it with a stroke of a pen.His design violates countless HTA regulations. Everything seems easy when you don't know what you're talking about.
First of all, no, there's a pretty long process for HTA updates that involves consulting engineers and other practitioners and doing research. They don't just change the HTA on a whim.The HTA regulations can be changed. Cabinet can do it with a stroke of a pen.

But even so, the post was not asking for the HTA to be changed, it was saying "why is the City so stupid that they didn't do this obvious thing I just thought of".
I can tell you that the City absolutely did consider that type of transit signal layout that as part of the original pilot in 2017 and the City would have installed them already if they could.
It's just sad that some people are so arrogant that they think that the reason the design ends up being stupid is because the practitioners are morons, rather than that they face real-world constraints that are not self-evident on twitter.
Yes and I literally said that on the previous page of this thread. I even outlined the changes we should make to the HTA to enable more intuitive signal indications.For sure there are constraints and the guy had no idea what he was talking about. However, it does point to common sense things not being possible because of this huge beauracratic red tape, and these frustrations go way beyond just signs, it's part of what makes everyone feel government is no longer effective. The process for updating the HTA should take ~ 3 months, so that a government can identify a problem and solve it in a reasonable amount of time.
To be honest, with all the green lights they've added - it looks even more like that you can drive straight. Who could possibly process all that in the 1 second that the streetcar in front of you moves forward and you first see the sign.Steve Munro has a not very positive review! https://stevemunro.ca/2024/04/14/king-adelaide-york-update-april-2024/

Oh yes, it's not compliant ... but regulations can always be changed!His design violates countless HTA regulations. Everything seems easy when you don't know what you're talking about.
That's likely the piece of the puzzle that will make this approach semi-work. Once the red light cameras are active, a couple of weeks will likely be all it takes to change behaviour. Although, the new set up is still confusing for people, compliance will come with enforcement.Cameras
