Even if the civil engineers are forced to follow the laws to_the_letter when installing these intersections, I think it may be just worth it to get a few laughs! I've come across quite a few of these just outside city limits, where there are lots of signal lamps, but no businesses/homes for miles around! Wow.

At the very least, I guess we can hope that they will add sidewalks at some point in the future. Check out this other set of useless pedestrian infrastructure in Etobicoke (Dundas St., just east of Islington): http://vic.gedris.org/pics/2007-10-03/ Brilliant!
