LETTER: This White Rock-South Surrey intersection is a safety hazard<\/p>\n

Editor,<\/p>\n
Spidey senses are required when driving in and around the main intersection of 152nd Street and 16th Avenue (Johnston Road and North Bluff Road) in White Rock\/South Surrey.<\/p>\n
This intersection has regularly become increasingly dangerous due to frequent traffic violations and reckless behaviour.<\/p>\n
Weekly, I witness numerous hazardous incidents, including: drivers running red lights; vehicles failing to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks; unsafe, illegal U-turns and left turns directly in front of oncoming traffic; drivers failing to signal or improperly navigating four-way stops; pedestrians crossing while distracted by their phones; E-scooters traveling at excessive speeds.<\/p>\n
Given the high volume of near-misses and the large senior population in this area, I would sure like to see measures taken to improve safety at this intersection, i.e. increased enforcement, improved signage, or a review of the traffic light timing.<\/p>\n
