<a href="https://twitter.com/JLeiper">@JLeiper</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/cmckenney">@cmckenney</a> Instead of discussing Hooka pipes, the city should put in right turn signals on laurier or cars and bike specific signal

<a href="https://twitter.com/auxonic">@auxonic</a> I think it needs a policy change, no rights on red. Cyclists in lane get green light 2move when rest of traffic movng straight only
