Upon crossing Caroline, they'll be looking to their right, for traffic turning right from Caroline, to their left, for traffic turning left from Caroline, to their right, for traffic about to slow down to exit/suddenly enter at WTS, and now also to their left for cars about to slow down/suddenly enter from these seven spots for the church.
I assume that you won't have to look too hard for turning traffic from Caroline because you will have the right-of-way through the intersection. But there will be a lot going on through that area. Don't forget to include LRT coming from either direction across Caroline, pedestrians crossing mid-block, and cyclists jockeying for position. I'm afraid this will end up as one of the worst intersections in Waterloo Region. I think the only thing that will save it is that it doesn't have the high speed and traffic volume you might find at a place like University and Weber.
