S An example, the '401 î. eastbound and Bu'ock :Streef South, here In :Whlftby. Af the exit there are two slgns Brock Street *North and Brock Street South, this is not $0, bad except when the matorist' -arrives at the intersec- fion. The Brock Street North exit has a sigrw that states ntersection leath 1tra Brock Street* North, points ta the forth and, .motorists have ta makea. right tut-n and conti nue on their way. The problem arises' at, the Brocksot exit" where upon arriving atthe intersection the .motorist is canfronted with a'sign that $ày Brock-Streef and indicatpsn orthý and soufh suggésfing that the moto- rist has the option .of which way ta tut-n. *However, immediately, south of the exit is the aid hump bridge th at crosses over the railway -iracks. A .motorist traveling north on Braclfcannot see the intersection which is hidden-by the bri' dge. If another mfotorist makes the Ieft hand turn t ram the Brack, exit ta go* forth the 'cha'nces of ac- cident with someone caming over the bridge is great. The intersection is a death trap. Despite the tact that the exit sign on the 401 itself says Brock Street Sou.th, moto,-ists do make the left hand tut-n and go north against tratfic. Theéy do soi beca'use of aner-misleading'sign, that says that they 'm'ay do so; natwifhstanding the in- structions on the 401 itself. If ane travels, 'anathe- hundred .yards or 50 on The off ndin g sign the: eastbound. lane, one may make the right hand, tut-n ta go north on Brock. The reasan for It ýstiil being there, is probably just àversigh ' f However, -le'"s have if takendown and replaced with a - sign that' says Brock South only and that a tew lives. motorists may aniy make the right hand tut-n and'go south.
