Sherbrooke West: new lane markers confuse
New lane markings on Sherbrooke West have caused confusion among some folks driving in NDG. But they’re not a new bike path, they’re an attempt to make drivers leave each other more space.

Not sure what they were thinking. This is cheap and quick, but it clearly looks like a lane.
The right way to do this is to have diagonal lines to fill up the area in the middle to indicate its a restricted space. That’s street design 101.

It’s tucked away toward the bottom of the story, but they do mention that the city will paint those diagonal lines:
“In some areas, perpendicular lines down the middle of the two lines add clarity. They’ll soon be painted along the rest of the road, according to the city.”

Notwithstanding the pretty lousy job the borough has done (so far – the Plateau did things properly on St.-Joseph near Hutchison in the very recent past), it’s amazing how so many drivers fail to grasp one of the fundamental rules of the road: never cross a yellow line. Doesn’t matter whether it’s a single line, a double, two lines a few metres apart – stay on your side. I’m hopeful the notion that the borough painted a bike path in yellow paint in the middle lane is nothing more than a some manufactured nonsense by journalists looking to make the borough look extra foolish.
