A community member has raised concerns about the intersection at College Street East and Moira Street because the left-turn-only lane is often used by drivers going straight through. This causes confusion and creates a safety risk since the right lane is the one meant for going straight. The issue happens almost every day and is especially concerning because there’s a school nearby and a park just up the road, so lots of pedestrians are around. Part of the problem is that the left-turn lane lines up with the through lane on the other side of the intersection, making it hard for drivers to tell the difference. The community member has reported the issue to the City of Belleville and is advocating for clear signs above the traffic lights and repainting the lanes to make the lane more apparent to drivers.
