Resident criticizes B.C. 's speed limit grace policy, arguing it increases pedestrian fatality risks.

A Port Moody resident has written to B.C.’s Attorney General, Niki Sharma, criticizing the city’s 10 km/h grace allowance for speed limits. Derek Wilson argues this allowance, which lets drivers go 40 km/h in 30 km/h school zones, implies accepting a 30% fatality rate. Referencing Dutch research, he notes the chance of pedestrian death jumps from 5% at 30 km/h to 95% at 60 km/h. Meanwhile, Port Moody banned live animal programs to reduce stress.
