There’s a lovely sign on Frederick Street advising drivers that Weber southbound is closed at Cameron. Weber runs east and west. If the city can’t figure this out what are we supposed to do?
Does Weber actually run east/west tho? So many drivers rely on GPS and when travelling eastward, for example, Weber will show N<-- if you were to turn left, and S<-- if you were to turn right. Village planners back in the 1800's got it all wrong and nothing was every fixed.
It depends on who you ask, the City of Kitchener uses an East/West grid, but the Region uses a North/South grid.
So the City says east west, and the region says north south.
(And Weber is a regional road in the city of Kitchener, so neither are wrong, and neither are right).
This is why the words north, east, south, and west, are verboten in the Region of Waterloo.
