Who here has attempted to navigate confusion corner in Winnipeg? My goodness what a mess of an intersection. The first few times I just followed the car infront of me and hoped I emerged going in the right direction.
Speaking of U-turns at traffic lights in Calgary... I saw the most hilarious case of driver ineptitude the other week. It was at the Calgary Winter Club just off 14th street, one block north of John Laurier. A car was waiting to turn left into the CWC from 14th. Of course the parking lot is shared with a police station and so a police cruiser pulls up behind this car also waiting to turn left.
Well the driver decides that they don't want to pull into the parking lot but rather attempt a u-turn. Either they didn't see the cruiser directly behind them or were ignorant to Calgary's traffic laws. So they attempt the turn but fail to swing wide enough. Instead they bump up hard against the curb and get stuck, unable to jump it due to a bus stop directly infront of them on the sidewalk.
At this point the cruiser turns on its lights but still had to wait for the car to cautiously reverse itself off of the curb before whipping around to pull it over, the final stopping point a mere 10 feet from the u-turn abomination.
Brilliant!
