the tactile strips typically provide feedback to the visually impaired that they are close to the edge.

Will this also be different in a tactile sense (so the visually impaired are assisted)?

There is a break in the roadway, so maybe they think it tunnels under the railway. Any reason they wouldn't keep the road solid to keep it consistent with the other one?
(I never thought the above, was just trying to figure out how someone could mis interpret it)

Have also seen such signs in Quebec. They are surely part of the standard for road signs.

Ah, yes, it seems to be a WC-4B. IANATL so no idea whether the Ion interpretation is close enough to be legal.

Northbound messenger wire has been strung across Victoria and under the grade separation. Curbs are progressing well, too.

Yes; and it's very interesting to note that this strand has a tensioner at one end only - the end closest to the two curves (Duke > Francis, and Francis > King) is fixed. It's such a short run it makes sense - and it makes sense it's fixed at the ends with the curves.

I feel like all the signs look like iOS when one holds a finger down to move icons on the home screen, everything looks like it's been shaken.
That fake old-timey lights are the worse. I don't really like any streetlights that send light up into the sky; what's the point?
