With out those pylons one of the most dangerous corners in the city.

The west/northbound corner needs to have about 20m taken off the tip to make the corner smoother, and then they wouldn't have the traffic problems that they have been having for the past 20 years.

The city planning department is to blame for that screw up and its not the first one take a look around the city. There is a housing developement behind me and the grade elevation is about 4 feet higher than my property................. guess who gets all the spring run off....

I too am in support of the pylons........I can't remember the exact year ..I think about ten years ago a young driver died on that corner..partly due to inexperience and due the sharpness of the turn.

I'm pretty sure city planners have absolutely no clue how they are going solve that problem.

it sucks...2 lanes means 2 lanes. pick one and drive what ever speed you like, but PICK ONE! Its not rocket appliances.

whats so confusing about them just drive around them in your designated lane.

the young guy who died on that corner was (1) speeding and (2) drunk ; so use the pilons to escape that fact i've been driving that corner for years and never needed the pylons before and havent heard of any other accidents on that corner

Uhm, the young guy who died was in a hurry to get to the hospital due to a family member who was close to passing away. Get the facts straight people..

Here's the solution, slow the heck down. Not everything is a race.

Take them away and it will be like a race track.

Yes is it one or two lanes in each direction that turn or does eaxh side merge into one lane????

Why no left turn onto the gravel road for traffic heading west and wanting to go south. Having to go past the soccer thing and make a u-turn seems more risky than just having a regular intersection.

Ok, PADriver, I'll correct you now before it's you I'm trading paint with going around that corner, it's TWO lanes up until 200m from the curve, then it's funneled down (right lane merging left, of course) one lane around the corner, and then two lanes after the last pylon.

What's confusing with them? Which lane comes to a end to make the corner. One would assume the inside lane as you usually turn from the outside lane. Try that on that corner and you will get wiped out.

some idiot at city haul wants to stop traffic from turning left onto that back road, so now heavy truck traffic is rerouting through 24st residential area. How smart is that !!!

The confusing part is everybody thinks you make the right hand turn onto 10th Ave from the inside lane, cutting off anybody who may be in the outside lane.

they were place there last year, due to confusion with drivers who do not know how to treat a double lane turn! vehicles driving pararal to each other in the same direction, must assume and remain in the lane they are executing a turn, but most drivers turn into the other drivers lane, which in turn could cause serious accidents.

also the road heading off a short detour to the West Flat is regularly used, drivers where intrurupting traffic, even when they restricted the route, drivers were determined to turn off, even in voilation by making a U turn and then heading off to thier turn.

Personally I see little confusion, but with the way drivers are in Prince Albert, not obeying simple road rules. This activity is not diffucult, ecspecially when you can acquire a driver license when your Sixteen Years of age, obiviously it not diffucult if we can trust Youth to do right.

During all the driving I have seen; Speeding, People texting with the phone cradled over the steering wheel, when turning they fail to get into the turning lane and very seldom signal and if they do so, it no more than 2 seconds prior to turning, crossing into lanes without proper signaling,

@Mr Hermiteowitch your miss understanding me what i meant was which lane your in (direction) if your going towards or away from the soccer center

@PADriver: I'm afraid that he's not the one that is confused. Unfortunately it is everyone else that is confused.

The rules of the road are that if you are in the left lane turning left, you turn into the left-most lane. If you are in the right lane turning right, you turn into the right-most lane. In PA, you turn into the lane that you intend to end up in at some point down the road regardless of all else. Everyone else be damned. If that means turing from the left-most lane into the far-right lane, too bad for that sap who was in that lane lawfully. "I needed a Tim's". Take a minute at the next red light you are at and observe the drivers who get the advanced turn arrow. Half will turn into the proper left lane, and half will turn into the right lane, because they want to hit the liquor store two blocks up, or whatever their selfish reason. God forbid they wait to merge like everyone else. God forbid that the police write someone a ticket for this.

I partly blame the city. This particular intersection at the soccer center has two lanes leading up to the turn demarked by a broken white line indicating which lane you are in. In any other street in the universe a solid white line would continue through the turn to indicate that you should remain in the rightmost or leftmost portion of that side. The city decided to forego this and elected for chaos in those few feet through the turn. They probably figured that PA drivers already dismissed this particular rule of the road. and decided make it SGI's problem.

I had hoped when they re-paved this road the third time in three years that someone would remember to bring enough paint to demark the lanes, but for the third time they neglected to paint the white line through the turn. Some cities even have reflective markers through such difficult intersections as a single-way turn, but I guess that having the tax base that we do forbids such extravagance. We can't even pay for a few more feet of white paint, let alone reflective markers. Better to put out pylons and make it official what all the idiot drivers were doing anyway, that is making two distict lanes into one at a turn when you can't see if you are about to hit someone if you cross into their lane. That idiot should never have been in his own lane in the first place. Only now, SGI can find both drivers at fault because there is no one who has the right of way when both lanes suddenly run out without a sign to indicate which lane is the one that is ending.

That stretch of road must have been quite expensive to construct. If it was well planned, then there would be no need for temporary pylons. Clearly, those responsible for this project have failed once again, but that's okay, because it matches the clever fish-trap design of the Field House parking lots around the corner. Although I have no advanced knowledge of traffic engineering, I believe that this project lacked an adequate level of common sense.

Another temporary measure that seems to last forever. I am sorry Mr. Mayor, but plastic pylons are not the solution to your problem.
