The city’s new diamond lanes go into effect today. You’ll want to watch the signs very closely, as they’re not all being enforced at the same time:
Portage Avenue:
- Westbound from Colony to Strathcona (07:00 – 09:00 and 15:30 – 17:30)
- Eastbound from Raglan to St. Mary (07:00 – 09:00 and 15:30 – 17:30)
Main Street:
- Southbound from Smithfield to Jarvis (07:00 – 09:00 only)
- Northbound from Jarvis to Inkster (15:30 – 17:30 only)
Goulet Street:
- Westbound from Youville to Tache (07:00 – 09:00 only)
McPhillips Street:
- Southbound from Hillock to William (07:00 – 09:00 and 15:30 – 17:30)
If you get caught in of the lanes, you might get dinged with a $190.80 fine and 2 demerit points!
You may think I am crazy but I don’t read the paper and I don’t watch the news (I hate reading about all the bad things going on in our world) so I don’t know what this diamond lane is about. What is a diamond lane?
