Dangerous Roads within the Lower Mainland

Figured we could discuss our most feared locations for poorly designed as well as somewhat scary locations to drive within Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley.

This accident on the Vedder Canal bridge - which has been described as the worst collision seen in a long time by News 1130 Kim Seale this morning has shut it down indefinitely to all traffic in the westbound direction.

Kind of wish the photos provided were a bit higher resoultion.

Anyway, here is my list:
  • Pattullo bridge - narrow lanes, sharp corners
    Highway #1 just north of Ironworkers, sharp covers, steep downgrades
    Vedder Canal bridge - narrow bridge, no shoulders, sharp corner with a design speed of likely 90-100 km/h just west of bridge on approach.
