Description

The new cycle of lights at Bloor/Yonge and at Dundas/Yonge seem to be weird, certainly different from scrambles I've seen in other cities.
One phase gives the intersection over to pedestrians; no cars are allowed. This is a good thing.
Two phases permit N-S and E-W vehicular traffic, but includes N-S and E-W pedestrian traffic as well.
I rather think that those two phases should be given over to vehicles ONLY.
After all, we (pedestrians) have had a free run for (??) seconds.
Now we (vehicles) ought to be allowed full use of both lanes for travel.
Instead, the right-hand lane is blocked by the first vehicle waiting to turn right; that vehicle must wait for all pedestrians to cross before it can proceed.
perhaps some car driver can confirm my view?
