The vehicle in the bike lane if you would look a little closer was spraying it with brine so that the cyclists could bike safely on it. Then the pedestrian crossing in PItt Meadows where the walker was trying to cross. If they had pushed the button then the lights would have flashed and they would have been crossing so much faster. Don't blame it all on the drivers, because pedestrians are not so innocent either.
Well the person who sent the pedestrian video said that the lights actually don't work there (government needs to fix them ASAP) and also someone died there recently. I agree pedestrians should be pushing the button but also drivers need to pay attention
@@vancouversworstdrivers yes exactly, you can see it spraying its salt solution :) thanks for the video, im a local boy and am addicted to your videos.
That clip where the pedestrian gets upset about almost getting hit reminds me of a time when a similar thing happened to me, and let me tell I cursed them out.
I don't drive. I have notice that '"NO ONE WATCH OUT FOR PEDESTRIANS""! I have call city of Burnaby to put speed limit? NO. And I have ask pedestrian cross walk with light? If anyone has a video on two different street but there close the each other Halifax Avenue at Rosser Avenue Burnaby, BC ( Madison centre area) and Rosser at Lougheed Highway. And there is old folks home. We have regular pedestrian cross walk. I'm pedestrian myself trying to cross the street I have to wait up 5 to 10 cars and trucks go by before I walk a cross the street! It's bad. Night time is really ""BAD""! I wear a bright green jacket with safetyvest I don't wear black jacket at day time or Night time.
@ 4:10 I'm sorry, but if the pedestrians cannot figure out a rudimentary procedure such as simply pressing a button to activate the cross warning lights (which the city pays ALOT to have install, just for your convenience) then the cars driving though, is justifiable...I know we all have to be safe out there, and let ppl cross, but that's inexcusable
@@vancouversworstdrivers either way, the peds had not set foot on the roadway, so according to the highways act, there is no obligation on the part of any car to stop for them. that is the LAW.
Around the 4 minute mark you are sopoose to press the button to turn on the flashing crosswalk lights so that will contribute to nobody stopping when they aren’t flashing
“Let’s just drive the wrong way down a one-way without even bothering to look for other cars that are driving properly! What could possibly go wrong?” And yes, people hate admitting that they’re in the wrong. If you honk at them, call them out, or act annoyed in any way, they just flip you off. It’s always someone else’s fault as far as they’re concerned.
Vancouver's Worst Drivers Yep, our world is full of people who refuse to take responsibility for their actions and get hostile whenever they get called out. Or they try and push the blame onto someone else. 😒
FYI, the “orange tractor” in the bike lane is a City of Vancouver jitney. They are made for bike lanes. They brine, salt, plow and clean the bike lanes, so it was supposed to be there. Just a little fun fact. 😊👍. I could see it spraying as it went by, so that was most likely brine to keep cyclist from slipping on ice.
@ 1:59 if you look above the ram, you see a red light, then when the car on the left shows up it turns green, thus he was in the right not wrong. @ 3:10 that's a city worker deicing the bike paths,
Segment 3:50 to 4:28, that is a pedestrian controlled crosswalk. It is triggered by pressing a button to activate the yellow flashing lights over the crosswalk which alerts drivers that there are pedestrians who want to use the crosswalk. The cars that stop for the pedestrians when the lights are not activated are creating a road hazzard to those drivers that actually know the rules of the road. Review your drivers manual.
Review your drivers manual? Pot calling the kettle? Those lights are nothing more than an extra safety measure. Pedestrians have the right of way on ANY crosswalk regardless if they activated the flashing lights. Maybe the lights malfunctioned? But I agree, stopping for a crosswalk without anybody actually indicating they want to cross is just as stupid as stopping for jaywalkers.
@@pauluminous no, I am from Vancouver. The rule I reference is the LAW for ANY pedestrian crossing the road in BC. and yes, it is called the Highways Act of BC.
@@themittonmethod1243 It's actually under the motor vehicle act, not the highway act. And peds have the right of way on crosswalks, just because a ped didn't start crossing on your side of the road doesn't mean you can leave em hanging in the middle of the road. As soon as they approach your side of the road they have the right of way.
Controlled crosswalk the light should be activated to use. If they fail to stop when the lights are flashing, then there's a problem. That's the whole point of making a controlled cross walk. If it was a non controlled (no lights) then cars have to stop for pedestrians as default.
4:00... Mitch...IS WRONG! the peds had not engaged the signal, nor had they entered the roadway. MITCH IS WRONG TO STOP! you need to read more of the highways act of BC... instead of relying on whatever you hear from ICBC!
Personally I’d blame the pedestrian more in the second last one... like obviously best too stop but they should’ve pressed the cross walk flashers. That’s why they are there.
1:45 It appears that the pedestrian started crossing AFTER the hand had turned red. Cars still should have yielded tho. 4:00 Maybe the pedestrians should have actually activated the crossing lights? Might have helped. Last one looked like she had the red hand too.
At 4 mins apparently the lights aren't working there...but I also think drivers need it pay attention and notice pedestrians at the side of the road. Good points though
BOTH the ped and the cars are in the wrong... Once the ped signal has turned to the red hand, peds MAY NOT BEGIN CROSSING. IF the ped has begun crossing while the walk signal is white, then the vehicles MUST stop for the ped. (Sec 132, Motor Vehicles Act, BC) - Pedestrian controls 132 (1) When the word "walk" or an outline of a walking person is exhibited at an intersection by a pedestrian traffic control signal, a pedestrian may proceed across the roadway in the direction of the signal in a marked or unmarked crosswalk and has the right of way over all vehicles in the intersection or any adjacent crosswalk. (2) When the word "walk" or an outline of a walking person is exhibited at a place other than an intersection by a pedestrian traffic control signal, a pedestrian may proceed across the roadway in the direction of the signal and has the right of way over all vehicles. (3) When the word "wait", the words "don't walk" or an outline of a raised hand are exhibited at an intersection or at a place other than an intersection by a pedestrian traffic control signal, (a)a pedestrian must not enter the roadway, and (b)a pedestrian proceeding across the roadway and facing the word "wait", the words "don't walk", or an outline of a raised hand exhibited after he or she entered the roadway (i) must proceed to the sidewalk as quickly as possible, and (ii) has the right of way for that purpose over all vehicles.
@@themittonmethod1243 it's complicated I guess because the lights weren't working :/ although ICBC would always blame the driver for the accident if there was one
@@vancouversworstdrivers i was primarily referring to the 1:45 clip, but if the ped controlled light at the later clip is not working, the city that it is located in would be at fault... also, note that the ped does NOT legally have the right of way until they step onto the roadway.. that is the motor vehicle act, not ICBC making the law on it.
4:05, when a light is a present driver would just look at the light instead of the actual person. You can be nice to stop but without a light, it would be great with light it is just confusing.
Cut back on the judgemental assumptions, some people make mistakes, not every bad driver or drivers who makes an error is doing so out of malice or arrogance.
A lot of the new drivers come from country's where they drive on the opposite side of the road and so that's why they are always confused by what side of the road they need to be on 🤔🤔🙄🚗🚗👀n they drive without due care of the traffic eg no shoulder checks just jutting in 2 the traffic almost making the on coming car slam into them 🙄🙄🚙🚙

Beverley Stuive ya. That’s a maintenance vehicle from the city. They are purchased specially
To drive and maintain the bus lanes.
@@mattpaughohhhhh now I see it painting! Thanks for letting me know I'll add that to the video
The button was pushed and the lights didn't activate. Working or not, you need to stop for pedestrians at marked crosswalks.
that tractor in the bike lane was a salting rig for side walks and bike lanes where a large truck cant get access to.
Actually apparently it's a paint truck for painting the lanes green which I found out later lol thanks for watching
@@vancouversworstdrivers yes exactly, you can see it spraying its salt solution :) thanks for the video, im a local boy and am addicted to your videos.
@@JudeColins thanks for the support and happy new year!
I 100% ran a red light yesterday by accident, waiting for it to come up on UA-cam haha
Hahah send me the footage ;)
4:00 the crosswalk is called "pedestrian-controlled" meaning they have to push the button but the lights arent flashing so noones stopping I get that
3:15 is a salting truck for pedestrians and bikers.

At 2:00 you can see above the truck that the light turned green, but the car still used the left turn lane to go straight through
That was the car I was talking about :p
The car on the left that went did not turn left like it was meant to

I've been told after the fact that the lights there were out of service for over a month which was really pissing off the locals

Watching these as a pedestrian makes me want to carry a throwing rock
