    A solution would be to have a STOP SIGN at the off-ramp to protect cyclists. It’s not ideal for motorists, but it’s a far safer option, and there’s more than enough distance coming off the highway to allow for it.

    Sure, the yield sign could be turned into a Stop Sign (I honestly don’t know why it isn’t one now), but that’s not what’s in the picture, or where most of the conflicts happen. What’s pictured is the an on-ramp and most of the conflicts are drivers drifting across the bike lane to get on to the expressway.

      I was commenting on the location given in the map link (off ramp), but I’ve just had a look at the on-ramp section and I do see the concern. I would be worried about cars crossing, too, and I’m not sure how that could be addressed.

      Where I live (another part of Ontario), we don’t have any protections at all for cyclists near high on/off ramps, and it’s terrifying.
