Maybe if the highways had the ability to handle the volume of traffic more could stay in the right lane, but in parts of the lower mainland there is far too much traffic for just the right lane to handle, so traffic has to move into the left lane regardless of speed.

Just another failure in the BC highway system though, some reason they have an inability to build efficient highways in BC.

For me, the sign would make more sense looking like this.

(excuse the quick cut and paste skills)

Yeah but what's a Leather Ass?

Haha. Maybe that could be the penalty for not moving over. A good smack of leather across your ass!

You'd no doubt love it if the roads were peppered with such signs.

I would not. I don't care for undertaking vehicles. It is a local custom I've adopted grudgingly.

The PITA thing ive noticed on Alberta highways is the signs say "Slower traffic keep right" hence people in the left lane doing the speed limit think its okay to be there just because they're doing 110, when the rest of the traffic wants to go 120-130.

You are not the law because you're doing the speed limit in the outside lane, you're actually a hazard and creating more danger

if i want to risk a ticket by going 10 over then thats my prerogative

+1 on the roundabouts. The other day I got literally yelled at for commenting that they should remove the all way stop near my school that backs up traffic for a good half kilometre every morning and afternoon with every.single.car having to stop at the sign before moving through, and replace it with a roundabout. They asked me if my aim was to increase the risk of pedestrians getting run over in the roundabout? Roundabouts are safer for pedestrians....

I dont think they are. Cars dont stop at roundabouts so even though pedestrians may theoretically have the right of way they never get to exercise it.

I do agree on swapping 4ways for roundabouts though. Its happening more often around my area so there is hope yet for sensible traffic management in Canada.

That is true... And it is Canada, the country of err. questionable driving

Yeah, I hope they swap more of them out. I hate 4ways.

They have even put some roundabouts now in some of the congested streets in San Diego where 4 way stop signs used to exist, was surprised to see them on this last trip.

We have a few roundabouts in town here in Squamish, people tend to still stop before entering. Yield seems to = stop in people's minds.

Where's the french version? Perhaps it's more clear...

You might want to think about that a bit.

In the rest of the Lower Mainland:

Stop = reduce speed by 25% and keep going (unless 100% certain to T-bone someone)

Yield = Merge dangerously in front of the other car that has the right of way, forcing them to take avoiding action

Merge = Drive up the right lane (or verge) and force your way in further ahead because your truck has a 'lift' and you have a small willy.

Red = Stop only if you are 100% certain to T-bone someone or you are the fifth car after the lights went Red.

Right Turn on Red = Especially recommended if you cause someone turning Left into the same lane to take avoiding action

The other one that 'amuses' me is:

Green = I got to the lights first when they were Red, so when they turn Green I'm going to treat it the same way as a 4-way stop and turn left across the vehicle that's going straight on...
