Bike stencils spotted at the site of recent fatality

It's a memorial. Don't be so knee-jerk cynical.

"touching little tribute"...that endangers cyclists and motorists.

Morrison's death was a horrible tragedy without question, but jackasses who take it upon themselves to f with the roads need to go to f'ing jail.

Dumb

I was thinking it would be cool to do this all over the city as a form of protest / cultural dissonance. I image it would drive Rob Ford crazy if we repainted the recently blacked out bike lanes.

...why is it that when someone does something that others don't agree with, invariably the response is to suggest that they should be thrown in jail?

I agree with the law. How about you?

Or are you for random citizens making random decisions about the infrastructure of this city based on their guts rather than, say, knowledge and expertise in making decisions about the infrastructure of this city?

If people don't know what the freaking road signs mean, then they shouldn't be fucking driving. Period.

Your argument is hilarious! Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning? LOL!

Putting in the equivalent of a "caution" sign is a lot different than changing the speed limit. It's a minor act of civil disobedience. We can disagree about whether it's appropriate, but it's very obviously not dangerous.

Yr really reaching there, No. A sharrow is not a bike lane, and no driver is under any obligation to leave it clear--especially if doing so would create a more dangerous situation. The sharrow just means let's share the road and be careful.

You can keep being self-righteously angry if you want to, though.

Serve is meant to be swerve. Obviously but I figure I might as well point out my typo before people jump all over that slight.

I await your Ritalin dose for today. You went flying off the cliff, and then somehow did a double back flip over a rainbow and into a shark's mouth.

In other words, you're a hyperactive douche. Cool it sport

No, that is why experts design roads and not jackasses in the middle of the night with some spray paint and a stencil made from old boxes. The inadequate width of the lane in the photo above is the result of the jackasses, not the city. The city would never construct a road so stupidly, so you can't say drivers are violating the traffic act on a road that hasn't been designed to the standards of the goddamn traffic act.

im not tired of ghost bikes. i dont want to see them because i know what they represent. but i guess if you dont like any memorials, that's your problem

you are a moron, just shut up. sometimes, because of people like you, i believe blogTO should be called BITCH ABOUT THIS to fack! Again JUST SHUT UP

Wow. What an evil bunch of low-life trolls here.

I believe the commentor No above derives their name as a contraction of 'No clue about rules of the road'.

Trucks have no superior rights to bicycles on the roadway. The rules of the road state that access to roads are on a 'first come first served' basis. If a cyclist reaches the intersection first, they are in no way obligated to yield the right of way, and a truck or other motorist has no 'right' to try to move ahead of the cyclist. Period. I defy you to prove otherwise.

I think you should just go right now and turn in your Driver's Licence to the local authorities because you have CLEARLY demonstrated you lack a basic understanding of rules of the road. Preventable accidents with cyclists happen daily in North America because of motorists like you full of self-entitlement and lacking in a basic understanding of their obligations on the road. Shame on you for berating people here when you clearly have no clue about the law. You are part of the problem - recognize it and do something so the rest of us can share the roads a little more safely!

Conversely, if a car is at an intersection, signalling a right turn, a cyclist has no 'right' to move ahead of the car.

If you're travelling straight, pass the car on the left. If you're turning right stay behind any vehicles already at the intersection that are signalling a right turn.

I hate watching other cyclists close calls in this situation.

The solid yellow line serves a purpose - you're not to cross over it. So if there's a bike at the stop sign, then naturally the car or truck should stop behind it and wait for the bike to make its turn. Stop being so idiotic NO.

Retard. Did you forget to take your meds today?

What's so dangerous about a few bicycle stencils...lol! I doubt Toronto drivers like Still No wouldn't even notice if it wasn't pointed out.

Shut the fck up~!

It is a superb suggestions specifically to these new to blogosphere, temporary and precise information… Many thanks for sharing this 1. A should study report.

On aug 31st 2011 i was dragged under the wheels of a mac truck while crossing with my bike on a green light at dundas west and Keele. Later that day my left leg was amputated. My life will never be the same again, but at least I have it, Jenna doesn't. The City needs to make Toronto roads safer.
