This system has forced vehicles entering Shuter to inch forward into crossings and through bike lanes in order to see oncoming traffic. Frequently, drivers cannot see bicyclists or pedestrians due to poor sightlines in these areas, leading to numerous accidents and near-misses with residents. This motion is supported by local residents and the Shuter Street Residents Working Group in an effort to make ongoing improvements to visibility at the numerous streets, public laneways, and private laneways intersecting Shuter Street (Parliament to River) on the south side.
