INTERSECTION PHOTO'S

Public spaces and neighbourhoods make cities great; not highways (11A) "forced" through neighbourhoods! When it comes to Pedestrian Safety Toronto really needs to "get with the program."

Can you figure out below how the city's NEW Oxton-Oriole "Pedestrian Gap" safety feature (or where the blacked-out pedestrian crossing lines used to be) is supposed to work? If you can't it's because there is a car already in the "pedestrian gap."


Oxton at Oriole: The city even took out the pedestrian crossing lines...how safe is that!

Oxton at Oriole: The city created this car crazy corner...no wonder they want you to take the long way to the subway!

Oxton at Oriole: When there's a gap there's usually a car going for it...run for your lives!


Oxton at Oriole: Even the cars are afraid...check out the SUV that stopped at the invisible stop sign!

Oxton at Oriole: Cars rule...and they give you hard time if they catch you in the elusive "pedestrian gap"!


Oxton at Oriole: Now it's "go, go, go"... pedestrians can take the long way to the Subway!


Oriole Pkwy Southbound at Oxton: SUV Accident - Business as usual


Oxton South to Oriole Pkwy: First Speed Sign
