Northfield / 85 Exchange upgrades?

[embe]

1)First of all, U-turning driver can turn into the leftmost lane, because they're turning across the LRT row, there's plenty of room.  Secondly, Driver A who is making a right turn on red is responsible for ensuring they can make the turn safely, that includes anticipating u-turns.

2)This type of maneuver is not unusual, Roundabouts were far more obscure when we started building them.  Even Toronto has u-turn locations.  I'm certain that drivers here can figure it out.

3)And regardless, that is an oblique angle low speed collision, it is still safer than getting t-boned by someone doing 80 km/h.

4)And besides, you're making another good argument as to why right turn on red is a bad policy.

1) sure IF a u-turn drivers can keep to the leftmost lane. And I just can't see the right turn drivers anticipating this
2) Roundabouts are a different topic, agreed
3) safety first
4) Right turn on red in a bad policy?  Is that new?
