A newly-installed traffic button in a Moncton neighbourhood is sowing confusion.
The intersection of Mount Royal Boulevard and Bessborough Avenue now features four-way stop signs, and a slightly raised roundabout in the middle.
But drivers appear unsure how to navigate it. CBC News observed drivers roll through stop signs, drive straight across the centre, or go the wrong way around the roundabout.
Moncton city staff say the municipality’s first traffic button is a pilot project meant to address drivers failing to stop at the intersection. Staff acknowledged confusion about its use, and hope things will improve when signs and road markings are added.
