VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - Vancouver Police are including walkers in their latest intersection crackdown after four deaths and three serious injuries in just over a week.
You can expect increased enforcement at crossings along Cambie, Knight and Main Streets. Police will be on the lookout for anyone breaking the rules, and that includes jaywalking.
More bad crashes tend to happen during the winter and not summer, so the spike in deadly accidents last month is a concern for the force.
In just the first six months of this year, the VPD say the total number of traffic fatalities climbed to 11, that surpasses the 2010 total of nine.
Tips for Pedestrians and Drivers
*drivers are reminded to slow down and scan well ahead for pedestrians in the roadway at all times of the day and night
*pedestrians are advised to wear bright clothing and cross at well-lit intersections if out late at night |
