The worst part is that this shoots themselves in the foot when TSP entres the room.

J'ai aussi effectué mes propres analyses, que je rends publique sur une site ArcGIS : experience.arcgis.com/experience/5...

Justement, aucune des axes qui vont être analysé sont dans le top 20 des axes avec le plus de décès, blessures ou d'accidents. Aussi, où est l'avenue du Parc ? Right...

Est-ce-qu’on peut faire des requêtes pour plaindre ?

One of my teachers from high school took part in this documentary about this problem in Québec, it is worth a watch : www.telequebec.tv/programmatio...

I believe that the issue is the high school system versus CEGEP. In fact, about 70% of students from private high schools go to university, versus 10 % from public high schools. The division starts at 6th grade, not when a student starts CEGEP. This is what needs to be fixed.

To avoid this catch 22, the bus lane shortly ends before the intersection, so that the bus can cross straight at the same time as other traffic.

Since a bus signal is obligatory. The standards do not allow a bus to go straight at the same time as other general traffic to go straight, if the bus lane is situated in the extreme right. Therefore this would have severely limit the time that buses can cross. (2)

So I looked into it, and I was a little wrong. It’s only allowed if the bus basically has its own phase. A bus traffic signal are mandatory if the bus lane continues until the intersection. (1)

I know, it’s really sad. We really design to let car drivers be reckless, while all other users must use caution. The people at the MTMD are still very car centric.

Yes, but this is also not allowed, even with such a cycle, because sometimes users (pedestrians, vehicle operators), do not follow the signs.

It’s because the standards do not allow this if there is a sidewalk because then pedestrians won’t be visible from right turning vehicles if the reserved lane continues until the stop line.

Laval has one, where there is no sidewalk.

I can confirm that the MTMD does not allow this, because if the bus lane continues all the way into the intersection, it would block visibility of the crosswalk and pedestrians crossing would not be visible if a vehicle turns right.

It is only legal, if there is no crosswalk. Laval has one here :

Bicycle can take full lane.
