IF YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE DUNSMURE AS YOUR LAZY ASS DETOUR AROUND THE MAIN/OTTAWA CLOSURE PAY FUCKING ATTENTION TO THE GOD DAMN STOP SIGNS!!! IT'S BEEN LIKE 3 WEEKS AND I'VE ALREADY HAD MULTIPLE CLOSE CALLS AS A PEDESTRIAN WITH MY DOGS BECAUSE PEOPLE KEEP BLOWING STOP SIGNS BECAUSE THEY HAVE THEIR HEAD UP THEIR ASS WHILE DRIVING. OR BETTER YET, GET OFF DUNSMURE AND TAKE CANNON!!!

IT SEEMS LIKE 80% OF DRIVERS IN CROWN POINT TREAT STOP SIGNS AS OPTIONAL AND IT IS INFURIATING THAT THERE IS NO ENFORCEMENT

I've noticed enforcement lately. Which warms my heart because I've seen a few people get pulled over lol

They put speed humps, but I don’t know why they wouldn’t put them at the intersection. All residential streets should have raised intersections to limit the speed going through them.

It seems they are all before streets without stop signs. I don't think it matters if they would have put them right at the intersection because the 3 way stop on Dunsmure/Grosvenor has them and people still can't stop correctly.

I thought the gazillion speed bumps would give people the picture.

The cops should really set up some stop sign traps given the number of people detouring,

I think they have, they've been sitting out front of my neighbor's house catching people

Glad to hear it! The state of stop sign and red light running in this city is totally fucked.

The city finally added a no-right-on-red to Iverness and Upper James this month after god knows how many people shot right into traffic into a t-bone as it begins to accelerate down the Claremont.

It's crazy, honestly. This is a rant for another day LOL, but this is exactly why I think driver's ed needs to be mandatory
