Today isn't April 1 so this must be for real: Pedestrian crossovers to be installed at all roundabouts
Quote:Pedestrian crossovers will be installed at each of the 23 regional roundabouts later this summer following changes to the Highway Traffic Act.
The crossovers will be installed at each entrance and exit of the roundabouts and will be marked with paint and signage. Any driver who doesn't observe the rules and stop for pedestrians could be ticketed by police.
Region of Waterloo councillors voted in favour of moving ahead with the installations Tuesday. "We're certainly going to enhance the pedestrian mobility across the region," said Bob Henderson, manager of transportation engineering. "We're quite excited about this."...
In 2017, crossovers will be installed midblock on various roads across the region based on a priority list to be compiled by regional staff in coming months.
