The sidewalk forecast is “not clear enough,” according to residents

Projections, a type of urban design for sidewalks, are increasingly used in the central regions of Quebec. Although intended primarily to improve pedestrian safety, the bumps sometimes pose problems for motorists.

Five drivers were involved in a collision on Boulevard de l’Entente, in Saint-Sacrement, Quebec. One of them, Louis-Sébastien Laflamme, whose car was damaged, believes Quebec City is responsible.

The two wheels on the right side were destroyed, with both tires literally exploding. We do not yet know the mechanical damage. We reached $6,000 As for the repair costs in the garage, Louis-Sébastien Laflamme regrets.

We have seen this progress on the ground. No one understood what it was like, without a beacon, without banners, without a reflector, without light. In the evening we see nothing at all. All the cars pass by, hitting him or herHe says.

Problems with directions and signage

However, the forecast was aimed at improving visibility for motorists and pedestrians. Bertrand Jimmy, president of the San Sacramente neighborhood council, believes the problem is not the visualization itself, but the lack of signage. When cones were not present, they were not visible, especially in the evening. This is very dangerousHe rules.

In addition, the floor signs have not been adjusted to the new forecast. As the snow fell in recent days, the remaining signs disappeared.
