Listen up Halifax drivers! When approaching a left-turn advance green, yellow does not mean speed up, especially if you're not yet in the intersection. What on earth is so hard to understand about the traffic light colour scheme!? Yellow does not mean speed and red certainly doesn't mean foot to the floor. You're hurtling through, protected by a ton of metal and glass and the poor souls on the corner with the walking man are just trying to get across on their own two feet. This applies especially at the corner of Sackville and Bell Road, but also North Park and Cogswell and pretty much everywhere else in the city. Pedestrians aren't given long to cross the street in the first place and when you cut into our crossing action like the road hogs you are you put lives in danger. -Two Feet, No Motor
