Thanks, Keith. I believe these aren't used much outside Toronto. The cyclists I know don;t like them. For one thing they use space inefficiently, although the arrangement here seems to be a clever way to use space more efficiently.

Well seen and taken. I'm just amazed that they went to the bother of having these castings made when a sign would say the same.

The university could also have persuaded the city to install some (it's the city's own design) instead of casting its own, George. But compared to what other universities in this city do...like painting a street with supposedly permanent paint and then watching it disappear with the first rainfall.
