Yeah, agreed. Saskatoon is doing things the right way. There's bike lanes or AT paths all over the place – and they're CLEARLY indicated with signage appropriate for both drivers and cyclists.
We need to be using signage like this at places where there are vehicles turning in front of bike lanes:

In Saskatoon, they built buffered bike lanes downtown, where cars separate bikes from traffic. Similar to Sherbrook setup, but didn't do any permanent curbs - just bollards, painting, and good signage. The smart thing they did though, was force cyclists out closer to traffic at intersections, so cars can clearly see them, if they're going to be turning right. See here:

They've just generally done a much better job then in Winnipeg. Actually have painted lanes crossing the intersections and bike boxes as well which increase safety and awareness to vehicles a lot. Winnipeg gets an F in terms of how cyclists are supposed to make turns and handle intersections. It's a joke.
