Opening of the Mississauga Roundabout Aug 22-11

August 22, 2011: We see the first batch of traffic using the new Mississauga Roundabout and thing went as expected from what I saw. Some drivers had no problems using this new Roundabout to drivers coming to a full stop and looking confused. Some driver try to go north out of the through/left turning lane and were given a talking to by the police officer on duty. Since this is the quite time, the real fun will start in 3 hours.

Were any of these streets narrowed from four full lanes?

And speaking of roundabout shock, how are Detroit drivers dealing with those huge suburban ones built in recent years?

@pogworth All the lanes leading into the Roundabout were 2 lanes except the new Sq One Dr to the west which hasn't open that will be a single lane. The Duke of York Blvd (north-south) lanes were reduce to a single lane as well the the Sq One Dr lane going into the mall. The outbound (West) remained 2 lanes, but was move for the Roundabout. City Staff design the Roundabout. This Saturday would be the real test of this Roundabout since it will be the heavy travel day for it.

Duke of York? Holy Crap !!!!!!!!!!

Shoppers out there are already clueless as it is. Throw in a roundabout, you're looking for some serious trouble. I wonder how much buddy got paid to design that nightmare? Thanks for the update. Glad I chose nothing on that route.
