Can't wait to see how this is going to work for city snow clearance: all those concrete-hard windrows and piles they left all over will now be covered by fresh soft snow.

I assume even a huge grader slamming into that would be jarring if not painful and dangerous for the operator. 🤔😬

One thing I appreciate about design-based traffic calming measures is that they make it much easier to remember to slow down as they tend to be present over long distances, versus one blink-and-you-miss-it speed sign often nestled among bunch of other signage.

Now that we have three different speeds for residential areas, I very much appreciate the extra visual cues!

IRONCIALLY, this situation was manageble when we had the prior #BusRoute, simply due to #SnowClearance and #WinterMaintenance.

Back then, the local road was #ploughed and #salted or #sanded regularly.

So even though sidewalk-alley intersections were impassable, if you could get ON to the road surface itself, the region could still be traversed.

And that #BegButton for the #PedestrianCrossing? Even in the most perfect non-#winter conditions, it favours vehicular traffic so much that I am often NOT QUITE all the way to the curb on the other side.

Again, busy 4-lane feeder road with plenty of roaring traffic. 🙄😡

But on icepick-fitted #crutches, I could usually summit these #windrows if I took it slow and careful.

It only became dangerously impassable if there was unseasonably warm weather or spring melts where the windrow becomes a mini ice #mountain.

Edmonton has also renamed its plows… now if only we would actually use them! #yeg #yegCC #yegSnow #yegRoads #WhyBotherToPaveThemIfTheyAreLikeThisHalfTheYear
