We have a similar issue in Toronto where our tram operators speed between stations/stops, and go in and out of turns at ludicrous speed (as if they were driving a car).

Trams as well as buses end up backed up as a result because of this excessive need to speed. One of the reasons I somewhat hate Toronto transit operators as they toss us around inside the transite vehicles.

Ludicrous speed definition: https://spaceballs.fandom.com/wiki/Ludicrous_Speed

Whenever a roadway such as this is in gridlock you always see someone being the first to shoot out into the painted section which is unsafe for everyone. Then as soon as that happens you have a full line of people following.

This is why painted lines should be accompanied by proper roadway design using curbs, medians, and various other traffic calming measures. Unfortunately, the road in this picture like many is over engineered wide from the start.

Most roundabouts in Ontario are two lane roundabout. I have yet come across a three lane or four lane roundabout

My general consensus for two lane roundabouts is treat the inside of the roundabout as you would a regular signaled intersection, in that you dont change lanes inside the intersection.

If you came up to the intersection on the right you exit straight, or turn right. You can't change your mind inside the intersection and turn left from the right lane. (Though this does not seem to stop a few motorists I have seen).

Alternative view of roundabouts (same principal), treat them like a continuous roadway. If you are in the right lane you dont suddenly turn fully left. Similarly if you are in the far left you dont suddenly turn fully right cutting everyone behind you off.

To add, if you did enter the roundabout incorrectly and ended up going in another direction then you originally desired, its generally best to continue through and course correct on the next roundabout or car park/parking lot.

Not to mention the sidewalk, why do we have sidewalks along highway speed roads?

There should be a complete buffer zone along roadways like this. Things such as planters, dividers or trees. Sidewalks should be plesent to walk along, same for bike ways.

Trouble is in north America all roadways are "strodes" (neither a street or a road) or a highways. We need better classification systems to differentiate between a street, a road, a highspeed road, a highway, and a interstate.

Spooky action at a distance.

This was most favourite (only favorite) location within LA California. Its a shame this is only a outdoor shopping center and the tram is only used as an attraction/ride. Everything else I saw outside this location was too car centric and repetitive in layout and design.

This entire one block community is a high density, car free community with shopping, restaurants, entertainment and transit. Its a perfect example of what the rest of LA and north America should strive to be. Excellent use of space and planning.

Everything about this intersection looks to be done so well. Excellent planing and conception.

I love how the tram way changes to cobblestone once it crosses the street, prevents vehicle traffic from turing onto the tracks.

Politicians take interest.
