The Biking Lawyer explains why this is crazy stupid.
“Meaning, as the law presently stands, advancing with the Pedestrian Head Start Signal is illegal on a bicycle.”
Yup, that head start signal that’s been shown to dramatically improve safety of anyone crossing intersections, including cyclists, is not allowed to be used by cyclists in Toronto.
Seems like Toronto police are intentionally targeting the city’s vulnerable population, instead of ticketing people in death machines who are breaking any and all laws.
Yes, the inconsistency among crossings, trails, intersections, and lanes does not help at all!
If you don’t play the button roulette, you don’t live in TO!
