Put an arrow for the lefthand lane, and a regular light for the righthand lane.
Still, province needs to clean up the regulations for transit and traffic signals.

Yikes, they've had how long to test everything and that's the best they could come up with?

We don’t even know if that pickup purposely violated the sign to save time or ignore it.
Heck you can see how many cars identifies as bus and use the red painted bus lane to turn on a transit signal left from Ellesmere onto Brimley. What’s their excuse? Can’t read a sign? Can’t tell a black transit signal is not for them? Can’t tell the red paint is not for them? I doubt it, they are just selfish.
There are a lot of drivers that ignores the 4-6pm turn prohibition signs on minor roads. The purpose is to reduce traffic on residential streets.

They never, but they can, since it has a quasi set up of it. It just needs better signage to direct people who wishes to turn left from Eglinton to Birchmount.

I wished this city understands that there are many non standard traffic layout deviations from a typical North American city and they need overhead signs with diagrams to help people navigate through these special cases.
Such examples is how to turn onto Queens Quay.
How to get onto Brimley from Ellesemere. A tiny sign in words is not sufficient when it’s on the right side and who knows the name of the next street.

I guess with some clear signage at Birchmount, it could be. It effectively is - and what Google recommends.

This is surprising considering Google sucks at updating their routing for a number of the restrictions downtown, eg. most King St. thru and turning restrictions.

Do you have an example? I just checked.
When it was first implemented it took 3 or 4 days last decade for them to add the restrictions - but it's always seemed to be there when I've checked since.
1-minute by bike, 5 minutes by car. If there's no traffic:
Downtown Yonge East to The Path - Commerce Ct

An LRV crossed the bridge and entered Mt Dennis Station as I was driving up Black Creek Drive yesterday at 22:30. Didn't realize they were testing that late.

I have said before, and will say again - from a human factors/ cognitive design perspective this is far too many signs and sets a trap for motorists (who are after all also attending to auto and LRT and cyclist traffic, pedestrians, and other stimuli while trying to read the signs..... at speed.... do we really want motorists slowing to a crawl until they have processed it all?)

PS - each of the signs may be "legal" and "to code" as individual objects, but when combined in this manner, their respective shapes, sizes, and placements creates cognitive chaos.

What about buses?

Also worth noting, the collisions involving cars in KW have cost the taxpayers exactly $0 in repairs. All repairs paid for by the car driver's insurance.
