  • Traffic blitz in Burnaby ends with 54 drivers getting warning letters

A traffic safety check in Burnaby ended with 54 drivers getting warning letters for failing to slow down and move over when passing a tow truck.

Mounties and representatives with the B-C-A-A spent Monday morning watching drivers on westbound Lougheed Highway at Phillips Avenue.

B-C drivers are required to slow down and move over for all vehicles stopped alongside the road that have flashing red, blue or yellow lights.

Officials say ignoring the law puts tow truck drivers and other roadside workers in danger.
