Road sense makes
good sense

Ihe Capilano College

Transportation Committee would
like to remind all drivers in the College
community to drive carefully and
courteously on all parking lots and
roadways throughout the campus.

Particular areas of concern include:
¢ the stop sign located at the top of
Purcell Way, adjacent to the bus stop.
Many vehicles don’t even slow down at
this location when exiting the campus,
much less stop for the pedestrian
crosswalk.
¢ the traffic lights at Lillooet Road and
Purcell Way. Drivers must stop when
the light is red before making a right-
hand turn. When turning left, remember
that there is a crosswalk that may have
pedestrians in it.

Many of our students and co-workers
have mobility problems, so please slow
down, and use your road sense!
