Dear Editor,
It has come to my attention that too many drivers are making U-turns on the streets of Richmond.
I have done some research and also talked to the RCMP and confirmed that current B.C. traffic rules do not permit any U-turn on the road unless it is clearly marked.
I have seen people making all kinds of U-turns on the streets daily and even in places where clearly there is a no U-turn sign posted.
Some of those turns were really risky and could have caused accidents.
To be fair, I think a lot of drivers, regardless of being new or experienced, are not even aware of the no U-turn traffic rule in British Colombia.
Might it be due to the shortage of traffic police or are they are assigned with more important duties.
I seldom see such violators being warned or caught.
Is there a way that Richmond News or the Richmond RCMP can provide some education or communication to the public and also start to enforce the penalty on the violators?
