Yeah I've seen loads of these in Canada.
Just what the fuck were they thinking? Like seriously, who designed this and thought it was a good idea? This is painfully stupid.
Then again, most traffic rules and street designs are done be so poorly that driving and riding bikes is safer and easier in Mexico.
The Canadian traffic light are just hilarious and horrible at the same time. For example:
Green in Europe, and Mexico, means you can just go. Theoretically, you can close your eyes and croos and be fine (obviously don't do this, but by design, you could). In Canada a green light means shit. You can try to cross now, but (for example)making a left turn with your car is a hellish experience where you still have to dodge oncoming traffic that also got green,, then try not to murder pedestrians that also got green.
Another one?
6 lane stroad and 4 Lane stroad intersect, and only the 6 lane one has traffic lights for cars, so if you gotta cross that, you have to get out of your car, press the pedestrian crossing button, get back in and wait for the pedestrian light or, alternatively, you pray VERY hard to whatever god is out there, find a possible gap, close your eyes and floor it. This is how my son got sideswiped by some newbie trying to cross like that.
That is Canadian traffic for you.
In Europe you still need to give way for cars that are crossing straight from the other side when you want to turn left, and take care of pedestrians that also have green on a right hand turn. Granted, not all crossings are like this, but many are.
Many where?
Not in the Netherlands, at least, I'm curious as to what other country would have that
