FOUR WAY STOP

Not sure how long the new stop signs have been up, but I was surprised to see the two four-way stops on King Street today.

This is a good idea.  It should slow down traffic a little bit on what it is a street that rivals Circlebrooke Drive when it comes to speeding.  I have seen vehicles go more than 75 km/h on King.  Circlebrooke speeds have reached more than 90 km/h I'm sure.  Something very bad is going to happen on that street someday.  In the meantime, let's applaud the work done on King to try and slow things down.


A couple of streets (Darlington and Gladstone) opened their bike lanes today.  Again, this should be applauded as Yorkton stays current with the times.  Hopefully,. we see these lanes utilized and motorists understand those streets are no longer two lanes each way.
