Maybe not the best area to post but everyone should know that Westminster Hwy has a speed limit of 50km/h now between #6 road and nelson (where the new overpass was built)
there is also posted signs for no vehicles above 10,000 kgs or lbs I don't remember which weight haha
why you should care because:
1) the police sit there on 7 road ticketing people left right and center ($196 tickets)
2) I am sick of people tailgating me now when I go 60 - 65....I am already speeding at this so back the hell up!
3) if you drive a commercial truck you will also get a ticket unless you have business there
I hope this helps people and does not turn out the same for all the people I have seen pulled over in the past week

Highway =/= Freeway
A highway usually refers to a route that is capable of heavy traffic.

I hate that stretch of westminister.
Like a few of RS members mentioned already, even when you drive at about 60-70kmh which is really pushing it for speeding, people still tail gate you like crazy. :fulloffuck:

westminster hwy past no.6 is a two lane road...
the speed limit is bogus. but not allowing heavy trucks is right..

i think the 91 on ramp(westbound) and 91 off ramp(eastbound) better then cutting across westminster hwy unless the 91 happens to be backed up. it's been good so far for me getting into dt rmd for lunch haha(work on nelson rd)

yeah the nelson overpass is the reason they want to calm the traffic along Westminster Hwy near the Mosque.

In theory yes....but in BC they also throw in traffic lights as well to add to the confusion / congestion / frustration etc etc etc.

^ I remember how the 91 used to have a traffic light where it meets the Hamilton residential area. even though I was maybe 10 or so at the time, I knew shit was wrong

its called not being a sheep
and 90km was reached with a tap of the pedal.... pretty sure it would take the corolla 15 seconds to reach those speeds, so it just seems more "badass" for you.
I'm not slowing down for some native drug addicts, you are free to do that SIR.

its called playing the part of a badass and then getting pulled over and then getting your fancy little tap pedal car taken away because you and your shallow mind thought that the life of some troubled people is worthless.
its not called being a sheep, its called being a responsible and safe driver.

guess you're also retarded.. the fact that they do jaywalk is wrong but it still doesn't put you in the right if you do hit them going 90 km/h and they sue the shit out of you. i'm sure the judge will think you're a badass and let you off the hook.
I've gotten over the fact that people tailgate us safe drivers. I drive speed limit on the right side of the lane, people tailgate, I don't even care. They hit me that's cool, my neck hurts.

at least 10-15 years ago.
Google Maps (http://g.co/maps/8ytwg)
The overpass used to not exist. It used to be a set of lights with a separate left turn signal light. To get onto the Alex Fraser you have to turn right and follow a patch.
oh how much this little area has changed.

There are lots of "highways" in BC that aren't what most people would consider to be such. Hell, Fraser Highway turns into a freakin' one-way street through part of Langley.

Thats if he/she is lucky to survive a 90 kph impact. I would love to be able to tell people I killed someone. My friends and family would be thrilled...

Just drove by there today around noon..
3 Cops sitting at the Kennel entrance...
I was leading the pack and there was no oncoming cars heading towards #6. This douche in a new yellow camaro decided to he wants to lead the pack... so what does he do... goes onto the other lane... 2 cops ran out to flag him down.. haha... I look over at him and gave him the thumbs up while having the biggest smile! :fullofwin:
