Don’t bother with FOTC today…
- Thread starter mimico_polak
- Start date
Maybe it’ll work this time….
The problem is that all the GIANT and numerous warning signs leading into there are all in English…

The Irony: The side of the trailer reads "Always More For Less"—though in this case, it’s strictly more traffic, less roadway.

My bad, the bicycle symbol on the road is for a sharrow. Still, I don't rerember seeing those markings along FOTC the last time I was there.

That is probably why they got there, and ignored all the BIG signs stating do not enter....
The closest Food Basics is 17km away in Brampton??

The turn around now signs are at really stupid places where there is no way you could turn a truck around.

So far there are only charges. I assume (which is dangerous) that like normal drivers/insurance that license/insurance consequences only come into play after conviction. The guy is 65 years old. Drag out the court case until you are ready to retire. If the current company wants to cut him free, he can probably get picked up somewhere else.
I was thinking the same thing. Wtf are they going to do at the sign? Back up a km or more to get to an intersection? They should just put chicanes with posts at each end as they are entering the section they cant get through. Space the posts so a fire truck can get through but every tractor trailer gets caught. It's an easy straight pull for a tow truck to release them from there. Sadly, that doesn't stop the busses and RV's. Other than an active solution that moves, I don't know how you stop busses and allow fire trucks.

Yup, look how far past the first possible place to turn these signs are!
They should be at the intersection of The Grange.
Turning around in the cemetery is probably possible but I'm sure the cemetery won't love that idea and the truck will be blocking the entire road at times.Yup, look how far past the first possible place to turn these signs are!
Headed west, the sign wouldn't be positioned terribly but the wording sucks and the wankers made the only possible escape route a prohibited truck road. "Turn around now" is impossible. It should be "All trucks must turn left on Mclaughlin Road 100m ahead." The morons in charge set a trap with no escape and then blame the truckers.
