I Saw The Sign

One result of the LRT construction here in Kitchener-Waterloo is that it's forced people to take new routes, and see parts of the city they might not know about.  For instance, I've had to drive miles out of the way to avoid closed roads every time I return to the city. And that's introduced me to a new pet peeve in the city's notoriously confusing roads.  Take a look at the sign showing you how to leave the expressway to take Highway 7 to Guelph:


That looks nice and simple.  The right two lanes just branch off and head to Guelph.  Now here's what the roads actually look like:




You have to take one exit into the collector lanes (they have collector lanes for two exits, isn't that adorable?) Then take another exit from there.  That doesn't turn into Highway 7, or even go to Highway 7.  It just dumps you on a side street beside a nail salon, and you have to take a left and a right to get onto Highway 7.
