Saw FLASHING RED lights at Keele & Sheppard - Which then TURNED GREEN... Is it a GLITCH?

I was driving through the intersection of Keele & Sheppard and noticed something unusual with the traffic lights.

The light was green at first, but by the time I reached the intersection it was already red. I came to a complete stop at the red light, and it stayed solid red for a 20-30 seconds. After that, the red lights started flashing briefly in all directions, and then the intersection returned to normal operation and continued its regular cycle, turning green shortly after.

What's strange: During the flashing red phase, I also saw a few drivers continue straight through the intersection on the Flashing RED. They came to COMPLETE STOP and then went STRAIGHT on FLASHIGN RED. To me it seems they treated it like first-come, first go. But the lights TURNED Green in few seconds anyways.

Does anyone know what causes this?

Downsview G Test Route – Construction at Sheppard & Keele: What Route Did You Use?

Hello everyone!
I noticed construction started around June 24 at Sheppard & Keele, and traffic is currently merging into the right lane in that area at Keele just before Sheppard. It's a bit of congested traffic due to everyone merging. I was driving by there 2 hours ago, and the wait time in traffic in that specific spot was about 3-4 minutes.

For those of you who completed your G test at Downsview this week (even today), what route did the examiner take? Are they using any alternative routes due to recent start of construction?

Anyone in Canada had bank issues (debanking) due to high volume e-Transfers to/from Casino sites?

I’m wondering if anyone in Canada has run into issues (FINTRAC) with their bank after sending/receiving a high number of e-Transfers related to online casino activity.

Specifically, I’m talking about something like 50+ Interac e-Transfers per month going both in and out (deposits and withdrawals). Not huge single amounts (mostly under $500) - just high frequent.

Ontario G Test – Do I Need to Signal When Already in Exit Lane on 401 (Keele Exit)?

Hi guys!

I have a question about exiting Highway 401 at Keele during the Ontario G test.

If I’m already in the far-right lane that directly leads into the exit ramp (so I’m not changing lanes), do I still need to keep my right turn signal on while exiting, or is it optional in this situation?

I’ve seen some videos where instructors say you should keep your signal on to show your intent to exit, while my instructor says it’s not necessary since I’m already in the exit lane.
Here's the part where youtube instructor says you need to keep signal.

I’m a bit confused about what examiners actually expect in this situation.

Any advice?

Right-turn on RED during brief ALL-RED for all - go or wait?

Let’s assume you’re waiting to turn right on RED. Traffic is moving normally, then suddenly everything goes red for a few seconds and all cars stop.

Not sure if it’s correct to turn in that moment or wait, since it feels like an in-between phase (possibly an advanced green coming next). Also saw a video where a driver still made the right turn in a similar situation.

Here's the same situation, all red for brief few seconds (timestamped at 6:57):

Is it actually safe for G-exam to turn right after stopping during that brief all-red phase, or better to wait for Green in these cases?

I suspect if hasn't turned the traffic from across would have gotten an advanced green-left turn, and then 10 seconds later he would get a green light.

Right Turn on Red and Advanced Green - Better to Wait?

Had a close call recently and wanted to ask other drivers about this.

I came right to the Red light, stopped, inched to see traffic right and left, as I started turning right a car from the opposite direction started a left turn (advanced green) and we almost conflicted. There was also pressure from cars behind me honking to go.

Do you still turn right on red when there might be an advanced green for opposite left turns, or do you usually wait for a full green to avoid these situations? This happened at Keele and Sheppard.

God forbit you don't go, people honk like crazy.

Downsview Test Center - Stop Line Right-of-Way Question

Hi everyone,

I have a question about the entrance at the Downsview DriveTest Centre.

When entering the test center, there is a clear STOP sign for me, but cars coming from the RIGHT only seem to have a YELLOW stop line (not a full stop sign).

If I arrive at my STOP sign first, and a car on the right is still moving toward their stop line, am I supposed to let them go first, or can I proceed first since I was already stopped?

What if there are multiple cars back-to-back coming from the right at the Downsview Test Center entrance, am I supposed to wait until they all clear?

Some say we have to treat it as first come, first go. But it's a bit ambiguous as clearly they don't have a STOP SIGN... they have full right of way, imo. But at the same time, yellow line, tells them they have to yield to traffic.

How would you approach this?

Hey guys,

Sorry in advance for a newbie question. I am trying to figure out how OBS record display capture.

  1. If I’m using f.lux (the screen color temperature/bluelight filter), will OBS record that effect, or will the recording look normal without the warm tint?
  2. If my monitor has image retention / burn-in (e.g.. faint stuck image visible on the panel), will that also appear in OBS recordings, or is that only visible physically on the monitor itself?

As I understand it records the rendered GPU output, but I may be wrong.
