Hello all,
I've recently reached the end of my wits trying to drive through this city and being consistently stuck behind drivers going 10 under the speed limit and sitting in the left lane (oddly enough these people seem to frequently talking on their cell phone). So my hope is this... Get everyone I know to call 3-1-1 and kindly suggest the city puts more of THESE signs:
on major causeways and freeways, especially the ladder. Suggest road names that you notice this problem and effect you based on your location in the city. My major complaint was Crowchild Trail.
I know many here hold traffic rules and etiquette near and dear to their hearts. Working at the city myself(not with roads), I know that 3-1-1 calls are given the highest priority, especially if you are kind enough to leave your name and contact info with them. My call took only 3 minutes and the information was very kindly received.
It is a mystery to me why this city does not take advantage of these signs more, as other large cities do(especially in the US). So, if you would be so kind as to call 3-1-1, I think we could sway some of the powers that be to spend the few hundred dollars it would require to let us all have a less frustrating commute. Good night, and good luck.
