Using the roundabout today, travelling north on Homer Watson, woman in a minivan also travelling north on Homer Watson (far left lane), waited for traffic to her left to clear, but rather than continue to merge right around the roundabout, she goes left into oncoming traffic. I decided at that point to go carry on around the roundabout and sure enough I met her carrying on in the wrong direction. Blasted my horn but she just left the lane I was in to attempt get back onto Homer Watson north. What an idiot. Hopefully she'll stay off road, looks like she may have been from Stratford being she went in that direction on the highway.
That's insane. But not surprising. I had that happen to me in Ottawa one of the first times I encountered a roundabout 10+ years ago.
Lol, I remember sitting in the cafeteria of the building I worked at as a co-op in 2007 and watching drivers be confused by the roundabouts in the R&T park. I even got to watch one go the wrong way around, and then be forced to reverse back around the roundabout by an on-coming semi-truck. It did not go well. Having been in the region for a while now, I have seen things get progressively better at roundabouts. But I am not surprised this still occurs. It seems some people cannot deal with them, and they have simply been hiding from them--which is getting less and less possible.
