Traffic circles to control “barely there” traffic

The estimable “Fixer” at the Toronto Star has ventured into those rarified parts of town where traffic circles decorate residential intersections. Residents of the Broadway Ave. area west of Bayview know them well as do those on Governor’s Road below Bennington Heights. The circle inset  is at Governor’s and Nesbitt Drive. It is fun to see drivers try to figure out what to do. Many who want to turn left just ignore the circle. A common reality at these neighborhood circles is the scarceness of traffic needed to justify cluttering up the intersection with “traffic control” suitable for highways. The Fixer, Jack Lakey, reports on the decision of residents further north to ask for stop signs so everybody is kept safe.  Jack Lakey
