I don't think it even needs to be that complicated. Just put some left arrows down for cars to follow. I mean, if we really want to get fancy, we can put down some bollards that go down only for the TTC vehicles.

Accidentally came across this intersection in Southport, Australia on Google Street View. Colorcoding the road surface is probably the best the city can do without dramatic investment:

You had to locate a Scarborough Street:to prove a point about streetcars, didn't you

The Australian overhead looks cleaner too, I guess because they're centre poles?

Agreed! Yellow looks a bit too much; red part seems necessary though

I would go that way for the simple reason that some drivers are too dumb to hold a license in the first place to drive as well being clear to everyone where streetcars are to go, not the cars.

Guess what happened today because the city still hasn't learned or listened? See link.

510 Spadina turning back N/B at Queens Quay and Spadina due to an auto blocking streetcar tracks at Union Station. Shuttle buses operating.​

... since 5:30am too. It must of got really deep in the tunnel.

Or maybe it happened because somebody was drunk and disobeying the signs and flashing lights and other indications that he shouldn't be driving there? It's hard to fix stupid.

You could install 10,000 signs and it still would not be enough to deter people like this

 

[Amare]

The TTC should create a couple dedicated plaques at Union, Queens Quay, and Spadina to all the very smart drivers who took a ride into the streetcar portals. The plaques should include the driver's full name, photo, and the timing of the event.

This could also be Uber trying to see if they can take over the TTC. I don't think they had too much luck

Looks like he is from out of town since he doesn't have a front license plate

Brad Ross says that the car is from Alberta. The driver took off.

You could install a "catch" at the entrance though. A 12 inch fall onto loose gravel (like queensway) with the rails raised ought to do it. Some might get caught but a normal tow-truck can easily remove the vehicle at that location.
