Intersection Watch

In many collisions, drivers fail to pay due care and attention when entering an intersection. Intersections significantly raise the odds of getting into a collision ending in property damage, serious injuries or death.

The Intersection Watch Program is an education awareness program, wherein volunteers monitor pre-determined intersections gathering statistics to increase community awareness.

Statistical information is collected for infractions such as not stopping at stop signs, illegal u-turns, not stopping for pedestrians, etc. and forwarded to the North Vancouver Traffic Section for their information and follow-up, if needed.

Some Intersection Safety Tips:

• Stay alert, avoid distractions.
• Be sure to look both ways before entering an intersection, even if you have the right of way.
• Always come to a complete stop at stop signs.
• Use your signals to indicate your intent to other drivers.
• Watch for pedestrians.
• Maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you.
• Do not speed up at amber lights, proceed with caution or stop if you can safely.
