A pretty neat feature from the Vancouver sun including lots of charts and interactive maps: http://www.vancouversun.com/news/crash/index.html

Most dangerous intersections are:
1. Knight Bridge offramp onto SW Marine Drive
2. Burraurd St. offramp onto Pacific Blvd
3. 1st Ave. On/Offramp onto Hwy 1
4. Granville and 41st
5. Main and Terminal

lol at the Richmond city map, its covered in purple dots: http://www.vancouversun.com/news/crash/index10.html

haha. and you guys bitch about having to pay higher insurance than us in the interior.

the big 4 in the 604 (van, bby, rmd, sry) account for about 230,000 crashes


the okanagan accounts for about 20,000.

[spoon.ek9]

richmond is just one big clusterfuck :lol

[StylinRed]

Richmond looks like it got nuked rofl

haha. and you guys bitch about having to pay higher insurance than us in the interior.

the big 4 in the 604 (van, bby, rmd, sry) account for about 230,000 crashes


the okanagan accounts for about 20,000.


we have almost 10x the population though and its densely packed

so proportionately its the same really

[hotjoint]

:lol richmond

[RRxtar]

we have almost 10x the population though and its densely packed

so proportionately its the same really

the big 4 have a population of 1.4million and claim 230k crashes

kelowna/vernon/penticton is about 200k and claim 20k we will round up to 21k crashes

the big 4 in the 604 claimed 1 crash per 6 people
the okanagan claimed 1 crash per 9.5 people


so you are MORE LIKELY to get in an accident in the 604 than in the okanagan

= higher insurance rates.

[Porschedog]

haha purple dots basically everywhere

[illicitstylz]

lol what a surprise in richmond they're all the ones along aberdeen/ no3 and cambie

and im not surprised about Richmond lol, them c-lais are fucking it up for us

[ree666]

why would you stop for a yield sign?

[CP.AR]

C-Lai turf and crash frequency in Richmond's correlation coefficient is approaching 1

[Jackygor]

They should have just put a big purple dot on richmond

[goo3]

Are all these parking lot accidents? LOL.

why would you stop for a yield sign?

It's a yield, not a merge lane?

[InvisibleSoul]

Wow, there are THAT many crashes?

I looked at a bunch of the intersections along Knight Street, and they average about 100 crashes per year. On any given large intersection on Knight Street between Kingsway and 49th, there's a crash every three days? Wow, didn't know it was THAT frequent.

So this is how the immigrants are making an impact on Canadian Culture

Oh, I see what you did there :troll:

[Death2Theft]

Wow I almost got tboned at the knight street #1 top crash spot who would have thought!

[hotjoint]

152nd and 104th here is pretty bad in surrey.

[q0192837465]

i think a big problem is ppl r always in a hurry for no reason. I always get tailgated during rush hour. What I dun get is that there's no point in constantly changing lans in bumper to bumper traffic. I see so many close calls when ppl dun shoulder check. Why are ppl in such a hurry to get to the next red light where they'r gonna stop anyways?

[Spectre_Cdn]

Why are ppl in such a hurry to get to the next red light where they'r gonna stop anyways?

They're rushing to re-incarnate.

[evil_jigglypuff]
