You can always ask the officer if he had given tickets in that area in the past and had to fight it in court. Worth a try. Because if he has and won, at least you won't be wasting your time. Quote:

Anyways, I'd dispute it. You can call the officer and talk to him now. Don't need to wait till court. Ask him now while it may still be fresh in his mind. That way he may decide to plead no contest at court if he decides that what you are saying makes sense and decides not to pursue further. Good luck. |

I am going to dispute for a reduced fine, and hopefully the officer will agree to amend the ticket to the RO. His supervisor said it shouldn't be a problem, as they were stationed in that area not to catch dangerous drivers or speeding, but because they are trying to reduce the amount of people using that area to bypass the traffic going on the Alex Fraser. All the no left turns, no u-turns signs, are all there not for safety reasons, but to make it more inconvenient for commuters to use that route for the reason stated earlier. Hope that makes sense lol |
Here's the "No U Turn" sign on street view. If it's in the same place still, it's past the driveway the OP made the U turn in. http://goo.gl/maps/OgJqH Here's the MVA section on "Reverse Turn" Quote:
My interpretation is that the posted sign applies only to the road which it is posted on. "Business district" doesn't appear to be defined in the MVA. |

is Annacis Island part of Vancouver? Where did I read that the bylaws of Vancovuer makes all U turn illegal? What of Burnaby, Richmond, NEw West, Coquitlam, etc? arg...I'm starting to hate BC driving laws.... As me coming from NS, U-turns are only illegal when there's a sign prohibiting it. |

A quick google search for Vancouver Bylaws: LIMITATIONS ON "U" OR REVERSE TURNING 38. (1) No driver of any vehicle shall turn such vehicle so as to proceed in the opposite direction: (a) On any through street. (b) Within an intersection at any corner of which a "Stop" sign has been placed, or where a traffic - control signal has been installed. (c) At any other intersection unless such movement can be made in safety, without backing, and without interfering with other traffic. (d) On any street between intersecting streets. (e) At any lane intersection So basically it appears you can only conduct a U turn in Vancouver unless you hit a dead end lol. I am guessing a lot of the bylaws for Vancouver were made because of downtown Vancouver.... It is a bit confusing when a city has traffic bylaws AND the MVA. Bylaws are usually there to supplement what isn't covered under Federal and Provincial Statutes. Personally, I wish Richmond had some of the Bylaws Vancouver does. |
It's Annacis Island which is in Delta, but the offense is a motor vehicle act offense (in this case) although I'm sure there's a Delta bylaw that also would apply. |

If there's a speed limit of 30 posted, does that apply to all the roads that cross the road where the limit is posted, or just the road where the limit is posted? |
