Burnaby intersection is a comedy of errors

Dear Editor: If you ever want to be uproariously entertained, pack a sandwich and watch the intersection of Bainbridge and Winston for about 20 minutes while playing the Benny Hill soundtrack.

Dear Editor:

If you ever want to be uproariously entertained, pack a sandwich and watch the intersection of Bainbridge and Winston for about 20 minutes while playing the Benny Hill soundtrack. No one single person seems to know where to turn left onto either street from either direction, and the painted triangle in the centre is mere fodder for 90 per cent of vehicles to drive right over. Also watch the lone vehicle who actually uses the intersection properly and see others (usually professional driver in work trucks) leer at them thinking the correct driver is an idiot.

I've left a message with some sort of traffic person with the City of Burnaby, but I'm assuming there has to be some awful accidents for anyone to do anything about it. But still, seriously, no one knows what to do there.

Stace Dayment, Burnaby
