I was stopped when riding across Georgia Street on my bike, heading north on Nicola Street in Vancouver by a traffic cop who said that cyclists had to wait for the pedestrian walk signal. Can you cross the traffic-light controlled street by obeying the stop signs (and of course when safe to do so), or do you have to wait for the pedestrian white-man-walking sign?

I have a real issue with the trend of pick up trucks being modified.
More and more often when I drive on a busy highway I'm finding much of the traffic jammed into the left lane, each driver trying unsuccessfully to get ahead of the others. One would think that this situation would be akin to being the proverbial kid in the candy store for anyone in traffic law enforcement, violations everywhere! Slower traffic failing to keep right, following too closely, unsafe lane change, cross single solid line, failing to signal lane change and, depending on your point of view, the root cause of much of this: attempting to exceed the speed limit.
