The middle lane designation sign overhead on the traffic lights cantilever arm is inconsistent with the pavement message markings. The sign indicates the lane is straight through when the pavement markings indicate the lane is designated as left turn or straight through. Which is it?

Heading north bound on 92 st to west bound 100 ave on the advance green arrow (with red ball is on). Then the arrow turns yellow (red ball is on), then the yellow arrow goes off (red ball is still on) and then all green. To see the red light on after the yellow arrow, is a shock as I'm part way through the intersection and then I'm panicking to decide whether to continue or stop in the middle of the intersection.

I noticed that this is not the same as the Ernie's intersection (100 st & 116 Ave). There, after the yellow arrow, it goes to green light. The 92 st/100 ave intersection is a set up for a traffic collision. Why the difference between these two intersections?

I noticed that a trend has emerged in placing decals on back windows of pickup trucks. Private vehicles can be seen around the city with all sorts of messages and logos pasted to their back windows.

Vehicle dealerships seem to have found the back window as a good opportunity to place a larger advertisement for their business. I note that the City of Grande Prairie has a policy for advertising on city buses and transit Property. However, commercial advertising on other City of Grande Prairie owned vehicles, including fleet lease, such as the Peace Officer unit in the photo advertising “Windsor Ford Trucks”, does not seem appropriate. Perhaps other businesses might want to add their advertisements to the back windows as well.

Does the City have a policy in this regard?

What is up with the Max 30 sign south bound on 100 street by Doug Marshall Dealership?

The road has been paved and pavement markings completed - not a worker in sight. Please take the sign down or start enforcing the speed limit!

Driving westbound on 100 Avenue at 108 Street, I see in the median there is a sign facing East. It is a hazard marker, object on the right, which is incorrect. It should be Hazard Marker, object on the left. This information is straight out of the Alberta Basic Licence Driver's Handbook (clipping attached for reference). Surely the road maintenance crew should know as to when and where to install these different hazard markers if they have a driver's licence! I have new drivers in my family this year, so I would hope that the road signs would be properly placed so as to not confuse people with improper roadway signage. Keep the signage consistent and proper please.

There is a construction ahead sign and a folding sign stand that appears to have been forgotten by the road crew by the Lutheran Church on 100 street. The sign and stand should be picked up at some point in time.

Driving northbound in the right lane, on 100 Street, there is an area of extremely rough pavement by the Servus Building. Vehicles have to crawl through there or else risk busting a rim or worse. Please smoothen out the pavement.

There are at least half dozen utility cuts along 108 Avenue that have settled and are getting quite pronounced. Some maintenance has been done on pavement cracks along 108 Avenue as well as the patching of an odd pothole. When can we see these utility dips or depressions in the pavement patched?

The City of Grande Prairie recently installed durable markings along 100 Street, specifically at 104 Avenue. My question is whether the color of the line markings was correct at the Island? The markings currently are outbound/inbound as White/White. Should it not be Yellow/White?
The Driver's Guide states that yellow lines mean that vehicles on each side of the yellow line must travel in opposite directions. A yellow line should always be on the driver’s left side. Furthermore, the guide states that white lines mean that vehicles on each side of the white line are travelling in the
same direction. Interesting?

So when power goes out and traffic signals are out of service, the public is told that they are to treat intersections as an all directional stop condition. These signals have been installed, yet they are not in service. Motorists who are familiar with this intersection are not stopping for these signals whereas others are. It is difficult at night to tell if these signals are actually "under construction" or if they are simply out due to power failure. The garbage bags covering the signal heads are ineffective and maybe some sort of durable "hazard" bag over them might be more effective in letting motorists know that they are actually not in service or turn the signal heads away. It was a real problem on 68 Avenue south of the Eastlink Centre earlier this summer when there was a power failure and you had new installations not in service and existing signals that were actually out due to a power failure. I witnessed one motorist who treated all of the signals on 68 Avenue as being under construction and therefore failed to stop at the one intersection where the signals were actually out due to a power failure and they should have treated that intersection as all directional stop. The City needs to develop a standard for how these intersections are signed when traffic signals are actually in the "under construction" phase and not in service. The existing situation makes it confusing to motorists.
