I was coming from the east and used the turn off on the east side of the island. I was watching the line work and the vehicle ahead of me, the center lane was the lane the Quebec side to Ontario was using. The car ahead of me suddenly stopped and almost hit the curb, the car in the other lane did not allow him to merge, I hit the binders really hard and then noticed our lane had died. The cars behind almost did the same thing, so that was my experience to get there. On the way back the left and turning lane to the parkway, I waited 3 complete cycles before we got the green. Is this a new experiment.
Brian PS the 3 lanes + bicycle lanes looked very wide indeed. ------------------------------------------------- For list help, please send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Club Office: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (613) 230-1064 Website: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.cyberus.ca/~obcweb Newsletter: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------- ==^================================================================ This email was sent to: [email protected] EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?aVxiDo.a2i8p1 Or send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] T O P I C A -- Register now to manage your mail! http://www.topica.com/partner/tag02/register ==^================================================================
