Description

Cars use Roxborough Street travelling west to transition from Yonge street, west to Dupont Street. At any time of day but particularly during heavy travel times cars nudge out into the paths of vehicles heading north on Avenue Road and cross three lanes of traffic to make a left hand turn at Dupont. The stop light at Avenue and Dupont stops traffic heading north and drivers come out of Roxborough and block flow, relying on courteous drivers to permit their passage. More aggressive drivers often burst out of Roxborough and there can be two cars simultaneously turning right into north bound Avenue Road traffic attempting to cross the lanes. Pedestrian traffic adds additional risk to the intersection. Accidents are common
