Q&A ImageAt the corner of Johnson Road and Russell Avenue in White Rock there is a regular crosswalk sign that has been in place for many years. Two years ago, White Rock installed traffic lights along with pedestrian "Walk - Don't Walk" signals; but has not taken down the old crosswalk signs.

BC Driver's LicenceFor less than the price of a traffic ticket, you can find businesses on line that will sell you a "novelty" B.C. driver's licence that looks a lot like the real thing.
