The Mission RCMP Detachments Traffic Services Section has identified the following as the top five motor vehicle crash locations within the District of Mission.

(For a list of our most frequently asked traffic questions see our Traffic FAQ page)  

Cedar Valley Connector & HWY 11 & Lougheed HWY & Turning Lane

Typically involves too much speed approaching the overpass ( not slowing to 60 after the bridge ) and suddenly coming upon traffic stopped for the lights at Hwy 7. Also, vehicles merging in northbound from London Ave and/or cutting in at the left turn lanes. Usually rear end collisions or impact into the no-post.

7th Ave & Cedar Street

Typically light/intersection infractions/fail to yield and/or vehicles pulling out from the Petrocan.

1st Ave & Glasgow Ave & Murray Street

Typically vehicles carrying too much speed southbound on the overpass and then sliding when braking for the light at Horne/Glasgow. Usually rear-end collisions.

Lougheed HWY & Wren Street

Typically related to light infractions and vehicles making left turns out of the Petrocan/KFC onto either Wren St or Hwy 7. Westbound traffic typically accelerating in anticipation of the 80 zone and wanting to get there first.

Hurd St & Lougheed HWY

Typically related to light infractions and/or fail to yield. Also vehicles trying to win the race for the right turn lane at Hwy 11.

Special Note - Abbotsford Mission Bridge

Since the addition of the centre barrier these are now usually related to stalled vehicles and/or debris on the bridge that lead to rear-end collisions. Therefore reports of items/vehicles on the bridge need to be responded to quickly as speed on the bridge averages around 100kmh which can result in serious collisions.
