Great. Another sign for PG drivers to ignore. :)

Another ‘sign’ of where our society is going.
Having to legislate basic courtesy, and common sense.

How about a sign that says to not run in th eleft lane on Foothills at a speed slower than the traffic is moving. Or worse, 2 of them side by side like formation flying.

How about a sign that says to not run in th eleft lane on Foothills at a speed slower than the traffic is moving. Or worse, 2 of them side by side like formation flying. “

Sticking to the right lane would be the polite thing to do but common courtesy has long been superseded by people’s sense of entitlement.

Anyone doing the Speed Limit is your Enemy, even if he drives in the right Lane , he must move so I can get past him and make a right or left Turn 1/2 Mile down the Road! Take your Time and Survive the Rat Race, don’t worry how the others Drive, just get Home Safe is the Name of the Game !

Good luck with that.Most drivers in Prince George don`t even pull over when an emergency vehicle is coming down the road with lights and siren going.

And the sign said,
“Long-haired freaky people
Need not apply.”
So I tucked my hair up under my hat
And I went in to ask him why.
He said, “You look like a fine upstandin’ young man.
I think you’ll do.”
So I took off my hat and said, “Imagine that.
huh , me workin’ for you.”

Whoa, sign, sign.
Everywhere a sign.
Blockin’ out the scen’ry.
Breakin’ my mind.
Do this. Don’t do that.
Can’t you read the sign?

And the sign said,
“Anybody caught trespassin’
Will be shot on sight.”
So I jumped on the fence and I yelled at the house,
“Hey! What gives you the right
To put up a fence to keep me out,
But to keep Mother Nature in?
If God was here, he’d tell you to your face,
‘Man, you’re some kind of sinner.'”

Sign, sign.
Everywhere a sign.
Blockin’ out the scenery.
Breakin’ my mind.
Do this. Don’t do that.
Can’t you read the sign?

Now, hey you, Mister, can’t you read?
You got to have a shirt and tie to get a seat.
You can’t even watch. No, you can’t eat.
You ain’t supposed to be here.
The sign said, “You’ve got to have a membership card
To get inside.” Uh.

And the sign said, “Everybody welcome.
Come in. Kneel down and pray.”
But when they passed around the plate at the end of it all,
I didn’t have a penny to pay
So I got me a pen and a paper
And I made up my own little sign.
I said, “Thank you, Lord, for thinkin’ ’bout me.
I’m alive and doin’ fine.”

Whoo! Sign, sign.
Everywhere a sign.
Blockin’ out the scenery.
Breakin’ my mind.
Do this. Don’t do that.
Can’t you read the sign?

Sign, sign.
Everywhere a sign.
Sign, sign.

Common sense like being gay is something we are not all born with.

Anyone doing the Speed Limit is your Enemy, even if he drives in the right Lane…

I believe the term is “an inconsiderate buffoon” not “your Enemy”. If someone wants to pass you why not let them? Does it make you feel important when (or if???) you look in your rear view mirror and see a line up wanting to get by you?

Sticking to the point of the new law, if you pass a parked cruiser on the side of the highway you must slow to 40kmh in any city limits situations.

These new signs are for PARKED cruisers, ambulances, tow trucks and fire trucks – NOT for moving ones which you always have had to pull over for.

Do they have to have their lights on? Or just be a stopped emergency vehicle?

I usually slow down or pull over when I see or hear a siren.
I usually dont stop or gawk at the accident scene, You need to give people their privacy as well.

Started to slow down already when a cop or emergency vehicle has their lights flashing a few years ago, when it became law. They are just people doing there job, they did not sign up to be maimed or killed.

Is a flag person setting up cones for road construction considered an emergency vehicle?

I don’t think I have ever run into this situation if it is for police and fire with their lights on as all the looky loos slow to 10kmh or less whenever I have noticed emergency responders parked

You know what I want, The city put up a sign coming down Ospika to tell you how fast your going. I normally slow down to hit the 50/km hr. often passed by people doing 70 plus.

Please set up a speed trap around the corner and start nailing these people. Isn’t that the reason why the city would make that investment? If your not going to enforce it, don’t implement it.

Slinky, a flag person setting up road sign is not a emergency vehicle. Just a person doing his/her job. they don’t need to die because of ignorant drivers.

Driving is a privilage, not a right.

They’re covered by a different law. You’re required to reduce your speed in a construction zone. A flag person setting up a sign is considered to be part of the construction zone.

They deserve to be able to go home to their families too.

“You know what I want, The city put up a sign coming down Ospika to tell you how fast your going. I normally slow down to hit the 50/km hr. often passed by people doing 70 plus.”

They should put the high score on that sign.

Just trying to figure out why we need these signs and if it actually is self explanatory by looking at it

The sign is confusing and by first glance you would think it was referring to pulling over for emergency vehicles on the move.

They need to rethink the way they get the message out for new ‘laws’ instead of just posting them on DriveSmartBC website. I hear way more about the ‘jobs plan’ than anything ICBC is throwing my way – like the distracted driving law, one ad on the radio and one newspaper columnist does not get the word out there.

This is the first time I have even heard of this ‘new law’ and it has been in force since 2009 !!

“You know what I want, The city put up a sign coming down Ospika to tell you how fast your going. I normally slow down to hit the 50/km hr. often passed by people doing 70 plus.”

I use that sign to calibrate my speedo

Last night on the Hart Hwy, you could see the lights of police cruiser for quite a distance and traffic moving from the right lane to the left lane. I had left stopping distance of 2 car lengths between me and the car ahead, applied the brake slightly and slid so I put the car in 2nd gear when an idiot came flying up in the empty right lane and pulled right in front of me and hit his brakes and started to skid. I touched my brake and started to fish tail almost taking out another idiot in the right lane who was trying to do the same thing! This was within a block or so of the stopped police car, so scary to think of what could have happened to that RCMP officer and the people who were on the side of the road. No cure for stupid.

Actually there is a cure for stupid, some of the nominees are on the Darwin Awards.

Follow all Rules of the Road and you will to
fine (obey the Law) let the impatient pass and you will make it home on time!

Stupid law that is open for abuse. We have laws for dangerous driving, and undue care and attention. This is simply another in the long line of “open for interpretation” types of law.

In 2 seconds I came up with a problem. Say the NDP decide to use the RCMP traffic division to collect taxes again? Were photo radar vans set-up at dangerous areas? Or were they more likely than not, in areas where they could harvest the most drivers.

An RCMP member could park just over the crest of hill, or just around a blind corner as the set-up vehicle, and his buddies would be flaggin’ everybody down.

This law will be be one big wreck when a loaded semi has to contend with an eager beaver driver in-front of him who slows hard and fast from 110 to 70, 5 kms from the cop. In winter it will be pretty sketchy.

If this law is so necessary where was it up to now?

OK, here is my pet peeve about this sign an many like it. Have you seen them? I have, but I had to look about three times, they are about 18 inches by 18 inches and covered with writing that nobody can read when traveling at the posted speed limit.

They talk about distracted driving, then put up a sign which you have to give your compete attention to for 3 to 5 seconds to read anything?

Are the monkeys really running the circus?

Sad part is that they take others with them some times!
