Why in the last 24 hours have there been so many accidents on 2nd Ave.?
It really seems time that the PACP crack down hard on drivers who fail to obey the laws of the roads. It is only a matter of time before some inocent person(s) gets killed at the hands of one of Prince Albert and area's idiot drivers.

I agree 100%, but they need to focus on the serious idiots, not necessarly the guy doing 53 in 1 50, failing to wear a seatbelt or maybe a rolling stop.
The running red lights, 5 cars turning after the arrow is going, serious speeders and stunters are the REAL issue.

This is the order it seems to be for a good portion of our drivers, slam on your brakes in the lane you are in, then pull over just enough to tick me off, but not enough to keep traffic flowing, then make your turn. Do we need more drivers ed? Police usually wont pull someone over for this, but it causes accidents.

I also agree. In fact, UMA Engineering Ltd. prepared a study in 2008 for Highways and Transportation and the City of Prince Albert. The study pointed out many intersections with poor levels of service (LOS), and recommended timing and synchronization adjustments of traffic lights to improve traffic flow. The intersections with the lowest LOS (poorest rating) during afternoon peak periods were 2nd Ave at 15th Street West, and 6th Ave at 15th Street West.
How much money and how many studies will it take before they get things figured out? Maybe they think a 50 year plan means that they have 50 years to make any improvements.

People complain about Saskatoon drivers. Those are people who have never driven in PA. Some of the most simple rules of the road are ignored. Here's one: When you are in the left lane turning left, you turn into the left-most lane. Watch at the next red light you are at. Half will turn into the right lane. Yeah, a full half.
Another thing that I can't believe that I have to complain about: Drivers who stop in the middle of the road. Not just any road, but major ones, like 15th Street. And not at an intersection, but right in the middle of the road for no legitimate reason. What are you doing, answering your cellphone? Then pull over first.
If that's you in the right-turning lane going straight and hoping to beat the car in the proper lane across the intersection when the light turns green, stop it! There are people behind you that can turn right on the red if not for you plugging up the turn lane.
And park your car and go into the Tim Hortons. You'll probably get served faster anyway.
