Dear Editor,
Traffic in Richmond has been becoming increasingly congested, let alone Vancouver’s traffic.
I propose that the city look into banning all street parking on all major arteries that have four lanes.
Drivers constantly change lanes in-and-out of traffic, to bypass slow drivers who drive on the inside lane to avoid changing lanes.
I think it is fair to say that if there are less lane changes, that it would decrease traffic accidents as well. Ample street parking is available throughout Richmond on two-lane streets and side streets. It certainly wouldn’t cost the city much to implement the changes.
Less congestion would mean less gasoline consumed, cleaner air, and more efficient business performance.
