The VPD can't enforce it unless there's signage. They can't put signs on every street due to costs. At this point it's only specific neighborhoods where signage is up. https://council.vancouver.ca/2025070...ents/pspc1.pdf

Not exactly the same, but I live across the street from a public park and elementary school. A speed camera, 30km/h signs, and speed bumps were implemented to slow people down from speeding.
People now drive faster and give zero fucks. No cops are around to enforce either.

Saanich has been putting "Residential Zone" 30km/h signs all over my neighbourhood, they put them at both ends of my street.
The signs don't bother me so much, people did rip across my street to get between the two main streets, and would go too fast in doing so. But speed bumps would be absolutely infuriating.
What does bother me is the reduction of all the main arterials surrounding me to 40km/h.

I realized about 6 months into living in Calgary and driving around everywhere here that there's no such thing as school zones anywhere in Calgary. The signs don't exist... they just put those yellow 30km/h park or children playing signs like BC has up around all schools and parks... which are literally fucking everywhere, even if it's a main road sometimes even on 4 lane roads. And they're all until 9pm which is extra annoying.

Since we're talking infrastructure, COV installed traffic lights at Slocan and 22nd. They're not active yet... Too late for SSM_DC5 though.

i asked my friend about it, they also ticket people turning in front of pedestrians crossing the street - you have to let them cross first, THEN you can turn. and it's enforced with ticketing.

Seems like traffic laws in AB and SK are actually enforced.
Went to visit my friend in Regina and was wondering why he was driving close to 50 on the dot. He told me he got a few tickets for going 60.
He recently moved back here and still drives like a turtle, lol.

So I’m sitting here eating dolar hotpot with the wife and it’s bloody empty. This place is usually bumping…. Less than 1/4 the restaurant is full. It was the same at lunch today too.
Something big and depressing seems to be coming down the pipeline. Import and export Volumes are dropping significantly, seems like most people are not spending, and there is a big air of economic uncertainty floating around with that idiot down south making waves. 
Not a single person inside no 9. Which usually has a few wackos who enjoy their overpriced rubbish.

I had to google what ALCS was 
I also noticed how quiet the Hong Kong cafe I went to was tonight (HK Flavor) - only about ten people were having dinner around 6:30 PM. Normally there’d be two to three times that many..

I think the economy’s bad man. It’s been like this the past little while, I don’t think people are spending. Inventories are piling up and warehouses are full.

I went to Pho 68 around 7pm for dinner. It was packed. Maybe people just choose not to eat at shitty places like #9 and choose to spend their money at quality places (doesn't have to be expensive)

^I agree with that. Among my friends, eating out is more of an occasion now with how expensive places have gotten here. So if we do decide to eat out, it needs to be a place with good quality and be reasonably priced.
My baked pork chop rice tonight was honestly pretty mid so I can see why they're practically empty - the pork was good but the portion shrunk and the rice was undercooked. Despite that I still want a HK Cafe close to me so I keep going back.

Pacific Plaza itself is a rundown 3-storey plaza, with the food court's seating area being a bit small. They are really nothing more than a food court food stall, but their food is really, *really* good.
You can look through their review on Google Map, and the food pics says it all. The milk tea is fantastic too! And I guess bcos the plaza is a little run down, rent is probably a bit cheaper, so their food is a bit cheaper than the fancier and more centrally located malls too.
