That traffic lights are hung vertically in some places and horizontally in others is annoying. (Looking at you Saskatoon)
There is value in making the look and feel of driving the same everywhere. We should make them all rainbow if that’s the direction we want to go.
I think there is a reasonable question of whether traffic controls is where we also want to practice advocacy. It’s a weird marriage.
No once someone bans these things people should go out and paint random rainbow crosswalks in these towns for the stupidity of wasting time on a petition to ban them. And in any kind of referendum I would vote to keep them because the fact that there would be a referendum to get rid of them means that the advocacy being done by having them is more important than the benefit of standardization road markings.
