Q&A - Freeway Crossovers
All freeways in BC appear to have cross over sections that connect the seperated highways. These sections all have do not enter signs on each side. What type of vehicle or driver is permitted to enter these sections of the highway?
I looked at the BC Motor Vehicle Act and Regulations and I couldn't find exceptions. The do not enter signs that I looked at on Highway 99 and Highway 1 do not have exceptions either.

Exemption for emergency vehicles
122 (1) Despite anything in this Part, but subject to subsections (2) and (4), a driver of an emergency vehicle may do the following:
(c) disregard rules and traffic control devices governing direction of movement or turning in specified directions;
