It's entirely reasonable to force people to turn right right and right again....
We've got to get used to putting restrictions on drivers...
Although it would be weird to change a lot of left turn traffic into increased traffic around the entire block in the name of reducing traffic. That being said, there are other solutions to consider. For example, maybe the laneway beside the LCBO should be an exit to King southbound only, rather than an entrance from King both directions.
Traffic flow through the several blocks around Waterloo Town Square should be studied as a unit, including motor vehicle and active transportation. Parking lot access changes as well as the possibility of changing the allowed directions on streets (to or from 1-way) or even closing them entirely should all be considered, along with all sorts of signalling options, with pedestrians and bicyclists given a large share of the space.
