I'm realize this was posted months ago, but I hope this happens.I live on the tail end of Duke by Queen.
I moved to Hamilton in April, and am still getting used to where all the one way streets are. Saturday morning my brother and I wanted hamburgers before driving to Windsor, so we headed to A&W on King. This is the route we ended up taking:
Drive down Duke, cross over Queen.
I couldn't remember exactly how far down King it was, so I didn't turn on Bay like I should have. I figured it would be easier to go one more and have to come back another block.
Park and McNab are blocked by city hall and railway, which took me to James.
Drive down James to King, only, you're not allowed to turn onto King at all there.
Continue past the City Centre to York. No left turns allowed there.
Turned left on Vine, which ends on a T at Bay, which is one-way.
Turn right onto Bay, left onto Cannon.
At which point, we said f**k it, we'll stop in Brantford, since we could have been well on our way there by that point.
After having read through this thread, I have a question about LRT and the one-ways, although maybe this isn't the thread for it. But, since Main is so much wider than King for it's whole length, why isn't the LRT route using Main? it seems like whatever is done with traffic flows, the extra space would give added flexibility.
