Getting around Accessibility woes
Posted By Team Coast on Tue, May 29, 2018 at 9:45 AM
Please, PLEASE, do not advertise that you are a fully accessible restaurant or store if your idea of accessibility is seating someone who uses a wheelchair in the dark corner of the restaurant where it is everyone else’s last choice and where cutlery is rolled to sit or having a second floor of the store they cannot access. Just say that! Just be real! My sibling is a person who lives with a disability and uses a wheelchair and it is a big production to go on outings via Access-A-Bus because you always have to book far in advance and it is not as easy as going down the street to another restaurant once you arrive. Things like one tiny set of stairs can make a huge difference! We all need to do better for people that have to consider accessibility constantly. It needs to be MANDATORY. It’s 2018! —Yearning for Equal Opportunity

Getting around New rules for vehicles?
Posted By Team Coast on Sun, Nov 19, 2017 at 11:57 AM
This year I have noticed at least half the vehicles do not use their turning indicators and about one in 10 who use their turn indicators do not turn. Also I live on a street off of Transom where there is a lot of construction going on and the contractors use the street as if it is theirs alone including parking on the wrong side of the street and sometimes even blocking the street altogether. I have been out of the province for a while and I'm wondering have the rules of the road changed? —Wayne

Getting around Traffic
Posted By Team Coast on Mon, Sep 18, 2017 at 4:00 PM
Bumper to bumper traffic and of course one or two cars always squeeze in to block the intersection. Thanks! Next, the Armdale roundabout. If you can't read the signs clearly indicating which collector lane you're in and more importantly where its going to take you then you should be on a bus. Then to top it off don't try to change lanes and force your way in after you realize your mistake. The roundabout has solid lines for a reason!
And lastly, cyclists. What's with the one meter rule? If I'm first at a red light and some cyclist nuzzles up to me then I can't legally accelerate. One meter should really work both ways and cyclists should stack in traffic like everyone else. Well mainly those of us that pay taxes, have insurance and buy gasoline.

Getting around Slowed down but did not stop!
Posted By Team Coast on Fri, Sep 1, 2017 at 10:36 AM
To the driver of a small red car turning from Almon onto Windsor. Why did you slow down but not stop for a pedestrian (me) with a dog, halfway through the intersection when you started the turn. C’mon, use your head. You looked at me like I had two heads—when clearly yours was missing! —Wanna Live

Getting around Learn how to pass another cyclist, please!
Posted By Team Coast on Wed, Aug 23, 2017 at 9:53 AM
To the cyclist in the watermelon helmet who tried to pass me while I was coasting on a downhill in a bike lane: the correct way to pass another cyclist is to ring your bell (if you don't have one, get one! it's an important safety item) and say "on your left" to indicate where you're passing. The incorrect way is to yell "excuse me" over and over (I had no idea this was addressed to me; it was quiet and blended into the background noise) and then say "the bike lane is for biking" as you finally pass. This convention exists for a reason! Cyclists all over recognize it, but even when they don't, it is very clear what is meant when you hear it (unlike "excuse me" which while polite, is functionally useless in traffic). No need to shame anyone going slower than you! Please learn the safety conventions so that you're not being a danger to yourself and others by causing needless confusion. Cyclists get enough hate from drivers, we don't need it from each other. —The Bike Lane Is For All Cyclists

Getting around Motor bikes in cycling lanes

To the woman in shorts driving her full size motorcycle in the cycling lane, 4:30 pm, July 12, heading north on South Park Street: it is illegal to do so. Next time I will get your plate for the police. Ride safe. —Know the Rules of the Road

After using Montreal and Toronto's transportation it makes my time spent using Halifax Transit seem like a 10-year prison term. Halifax Transit isn't fit for human consumption! Reading a bus schedule is like reading an ancient Egyptian hieroglyph. As much as I'm concerned for the environment; I just can't take it anymore! I'm gonna have to destroy Mother Nature and save for a car. All thanks to you, Halifax Transit. —Bring Back The Horse Carriages!

Getting around Ontario doesn't recognize NS moped license
Posted By Team Coast on Tue, Apr 4, 2017 at 4:18 PM
I am from NS and moved to Ottawa only to realise my class 5D (regular + moped) NS license is not a class G ML (regular + moped) Ontario license. In NS you can get a D endorsement on your class 5 licence that allows you to drive a motorcycle with an engine of 100cc or less. In Ontario, that would be a ML licence, meaning Motorcycle Limited speed.
Once exchanging the license here though, the person told me they have no equivalent to a NS class 5D, and I have to start the process all over again. No thank you. There is a reciprocal agreement between Ontario and the provinces of SK, QC, NB, and PEI for moped licensing, but not NS.
HOWEVER, according to the NS DMV, I am able to switch my (non-existent) Ontario moped license over to a NS moped license. This doesn't sound like a reciprocal agreement at all.
Fuck you and your arbitrary policy, Ontario. This place sucks. —cptstubing
