I see this kind of lazy shit driving on a daily basis and it drives me bonkers.

Inspired by the thread on r/Edmonton about bad intersections, which intersections are the most unsafe to cycle through, in your experience?

In the south, the east-west 23rd Avenue and 119th Street intersection (https://maps.app.goo.gl/hDqksdv3WKrBYQ9b8), which the shared-use path crosses, has a dual right-turn southbound to westbound and dual left-turn eastbound to northbound for vehicle traffic, which makes it extremely sketchy to cross. It is a high-speed and volume road with a large majority of people not looking for anyone outside of a vehicle. I've attempted to provide feedback via 311 (this is still a good idea), but there seems to be no interest in addressing anything, including the misaligned crosswalk markings.

A close second is the slip lane leading to 122 St northbound, which you need to cross to go westbound from the SUP behind the Whitemud noise wall (https://maps.app.goo.gl/2ZENCs2huG5j32ECA). It can be obscured by trees and people are often travelling at high speeds here and, surprise, not looking for people. The twisty turns to navigate the crossing and slip lanes are also really annoying.

Some days I really wish the price for doing something like this could be a rock right through their window.

Yes, I should have stayed in the "driving" lane the entire time and quickly found out why, as I moved back towards the painted line (call it social pressure or whatever...ugh).

The wide-angle lens makes things look further away than they were, and the parked vehicles obstruct all the sightlines of that entry point.

At least 15 metres wide... wider, or as wide as most two-lane undivided secondary highways in the province (with a 100kmh speed limit).

Surprisingly (/s), the speed limit of 40km/hr (~25mph) is regularly disregarded. There is a school along the same stretch where the speed limit drops to 30kmh, which is also regularly disregarded. I'm sure you can guess how safe crossing the street, or riding a bike on it feels. In this specific area, there is a shared path in the greenspace to the left, but its usefulness is really only limited to what is along the utility corridor.

Parking and snow clearing are regularly brought up as needs for it to be this wide, but it really feels like the real want is for unobstructed sightlines to drive large SUVs and trucks at high speeds...only to get caught at a red light or stop sign while exiting the neighbourhood.

Unfortunately, very common across Canadian cities.

This person turned across a protected bike lane, no signal or anything. Braked hard enough that my back tire was skidding. Wide angle lens makes it look much less closer than it actually was.

Passed while riding 38km/hr on a blind curve on a neighbourhood street with a 40 km/hr speed limit.

MUST GET IN FRONT OF BIKE even if it risks a head-on collision. I hate North American suburban design.

I usually take the straight lane going through this intersection, as vehicles to my right are usually turning, and right-on-red turners never look before going.

I was just looking over to get over to the (admittedly horrible) painted bike lane, when this driver decided to undertake me on the right. Only to get to the same stop sign a few seconds earlier.
