criticisms of a t junction in halifax by a planner who's heart seems set on replaning what he thinks a defect. i can't find statistics on vehicle and pedestrian accidents for halifax so don't know if the claims made are based on recorded incidents or sensationalism. the city has set the process for replaning in motion.
this type of cross road was given some praise in the 'pattern language' ( number 50 ) as a way of preventing some of the problems claimed for the junction in halifax. maybe there is something different about the windsor-chebucto-cunard junction that causes accidents rather than prevents them as other t junctions seem to.
