Top 10 Crash Sites
Posted By Rebecca On July 24, 2007 @ 2:38 pm In Traffic | Comments Disabled
ICBC has announced the Top 10 Crash Sites in the greater Vancouver area. My nemesis, the Pattullo Bridge [1] rounds out the list while danger zones in Burnaby, Coquitlam, Delta and are all highlighted.
By highlighting high-crash locations, ICBC hopes to draw attention to the larger issues of high-risk driving behaviour and how driver behaviour impacts the cost of insurance. ICBC says there is a strong link between certain high-risk driving behaviours and crashes. [News1130 [2]]
I’ve made a Google Map of all locations [3] and while putting this together I realized most are on either Hwy 1 or a bridge, which seem to be places people tend to speed. Please slow down and drive with caution – I don’t want to be putting up any more posts about the Bridge of Death… well unless they’re actually ever going to DO something about it…
