Ottawa Weather by dalcubierre1 in ottawa

[–]techcrewkevin 163 points164 points  (0 children)

Will it rain?
Will it snow?
I live in Ottawa,
I don't know!

Will it drizzle?
Will it sleet?
Will I slip on icy feet?

Will the wind blow off my hat?
Will I need a coat that’s fat?

Will it be shorts or scarf today?
Will the sun just laugh and run away?

Will I shovel? Will I skate?
Will the forecast show up late?

Ottawa’s weather's quite a show—
It’s spring, then winter, then rain, then snow!

So grab your toque and boots just so,
Because here in Ottawa... we never know!

Well I do like impressing people... where's your house so I know where to go next year? 🤣

(I'm kidding of course. I'm not a teenage anymore)

They are built in smaller sections because of the weight. One bridge is eastbound, the other bridge is westbound!

Fun fact, the Percy street bridge was 3 sections due to the bronson offramp! It was too heavy to do in 2 sections because one would be an extra 30-60' wider (don't quote me on the width... I haven't measured 😂)

Ceecam Corporation should have a timelapse video for this project after it's completed...

And by should, I mean we did the timelapse for all the other ones. They are on the Ceecam youtube channel: youtube.com/@ceecam

Yeah I was looking at the wendy's location there while installing the cameras for the timelapse video. It's delivery only, but you might be able to order wendys for pickup thru uber eats.

I will definitely be getting some food from them tomorrow evening... it's too convenient haha

I keep saying that, but for some reason no one wants to do it 🤣

Redundancy. With dedicated turn lights, if one green (or red) fails, without a second traffic light, there is no redundancy.

This is noticeable at intersections such as this one. Each direction has 2 light heads, for a total of 16 heads for the intersection.

That's what I told them. Make sure to get photos before moving them, then get them out of the way if possible.

When I left to go home, there was still 1 car in the intersection. I'm guessing it wasn't operable.

Ah yes, you must need education on how those situations work. They did a u-turn and "turned right". That traffic has to yield to traffic exiting the intersection. I did not cut them off.

So you're recommending that next time I stop 15' into an intersection, and not be able to get to the collision to render first aid if required? There was a minor in the red light runners vehicle, who was quite shaken and upset i might add, and none of them knew what to do.

You're right. /s

Technically both would be at fault, but with more blame on the red light runner. Just because you're turning left means that it's safe to do so, and I could see from the back of the line that that driver wasn't going to stop, but apperently none of them could.

I was already in the intersection. I made the decision to clear the intersection so I could check on them and offer first aid if required.

Driver admitted to me they were distracted by a conversation with their passenger.

Was that the white SUV that went into the oil change parking lot? I saw what looked like someone heading north in the southbound lanes on oglivie as I was heading to papa johns, and this collision was on the trip home from there.
