Poor driving adds to bridge congestion

Dear Editor:

The sign on the Surrey side of the crossing reads 'Trucks and slow traffic use right lane only.'

As a daily user of this bridge I see container trucks, dump trucks and other large commercial vehicles safely cross the span using their designated lane, however, there is also a large number of identical vehicles that take up the entire roadway for themselves.

This is clearly a matter of driver competency and skill, and as such they should be ticketed for failing to obey a traffic sign, an MVA sec. 160 violation.

Enforcement may be the key to getting these lane hogs to find another route and could possibly alleviate some of the congestion on the bridge and traffic through New Westminster.
