Are there regulations in BC’s motor vehicle laws that say how far apart speed limit signs have to be in order to properly inform the public as to what the speed limit is?
I have found a reference to this in Ontario by searching the internet, but not for BC so far.

I was ticketed for speeding and contested the ticket. I recieved my trial date notice and wasn't able to make that date. I then applied to change the date and was approved. After that, the ticketing officer called (my wife answered) and wanted to change the new date. He said he would call back as he needed to speak with me, but I never heard from him.

I recently recieved ticket claiming a failure to obey traffic sign. No accident resulted, and this is my first ticket.

I'm a visitor from Virginia, and have been driving in the Vancouver area for a few times in the past. I have read the DriveSmartBC website information on flashing traffic lights but I still need some assistance: what is / are the difference(s) between a flashing yellow light and a flashing green light?
Carpooling makes sense, no doubt about it. It cuts down on emissions, saves commuting costs, reduces congestion on our highways and helps us feel good for being part of the solution rather than part of the problem. For the most part, as far as the laws are concerned, true carpooling is relatively unregulated too.
