General Road and Highway Discussion

This roundabout will definitely be a test ... There are a lot of pedestrians in the area as Chandler Mowat is quite dense and the Laurentian Hills Shopping Centre is their local destination for Groceries etc.
That intersection has always been dangerous, I lived in the area as a kid and you had to always be super aware of the left hand turners as they seemed to never pay attention to pedestrians, cyclists or even motorists. The have redone it numerous times, adding slip lanes, adding dedicated left turn lanes and more but its only become worse. Slip lanes are bad, but the left turn movements here from SB Westmount to EB Ottawa are the sketchiest.

Not helped by the fact that the left turn you mention is rarely long enough to clear the vehicles queued during busy hours, so you get more drivers pushing limits.
