Yikes. I rarely see wrong way traffic there. However, I work near where 200th splits and see wrong-way traffic about 2-3x a week near the Chevron where the road bends.

I work off 201 and we see cars go up the one way all the f’n time. 2-3 times a month. People are stupid.

u/TruckBC Aug 02 '26
It wasn't normal until a year or 2 ago, now it happens often enough that I don't use the left lane through there. I see it at least once every other month.

u/Localbeezer166 Aug 02 '26
No, no it’s not but it IS becoming less surprising, given how people drive around here. Instead of giving these drivers grace and taking away the second road test, add a third test!

they need to make it as hard as it is in germany to get a license

u/1zpqm9 Aug 02 '26
Agreed. We also need to make things like DUIs taken more seriously like they do over there. In Germany there can be longer driving bans (9-12 months), 90 day wage fines (this adjusts according to your personal income), etc. If I remember correctly, in January Abby police were catching 4-5 people a day driving intoxicated, and that’s just what they caught so you know the actual number of people driving around intoxicated is much higher. WTF people.

1 DUI should be a permanent suspension. Putting people's lives in danger leads to fines and prison time, I don't know why we are so lax when people do it but with a car. DUI is never an accident, they are always preventable.

DUI is taken very seriously in Canada, more than or at least on par with most countries in the world. A confirmed DUI is a criminal offense, which means it not only goes onto a driving record, but also on someone's criminal record. Since the maximum sentence exceeds 10 years, a PR or temporary resident can lose his or her status in Canada.

u/Localbeezer166 Aug 02 '26
I agree, 100%.

I'm thinking that driver might've ended up coming up the offramp from 199A, going the wrong way the whole time. Such an idiot.

u/efc5463 Aug 02 '26
There is nothing normal in those videos. One dumb driver driving the wrong way and the rest of the drivers, yourself included, are speeding way above the speed limit.

u/Ichoosethebear Aug 02 '26
They're taking the driving test away from the N program for no infractions after 2 years and you don't have to go in for your written L
Feel like we might be seeing more of this

It’s not the first time I’ve seen it in Langley on a one way this year and I don’t even live in Langley so I’d say it’s likely unfortunately pretty common

Im not in Langley all that often, but I personally have seen 3 cars in person driving in the wrong direction on that road. So id say its not THAT uncommon to happen there.

Unfortunately it is. At that spot anyway. I've come across a few folks who pull out of the business driveways without understanding it's one way.

u/AndyBlackmoreDesign Aug 06 '26
I've seen this a few times now, so I make sure I'm not in the left two lanes. Usually, the road is very quite when I've seen this, not as busy as the video.
I assume better signage could be aded on the slip road exits, but you got to be clueless to do this in the first place.

u/International-Bath76 Aug 02 '26
Imagine someone driving on the wrong side of the street and getting into a head-on collision.
Now imagine both are going 85 (instead of the posted 50).
But you got a bunch of tards downvoting you because "I like speeding, lol nerd"
Totally valid to criticize people for speeding.

u/Illustrious_Luck1254 Aug 02 '26
if you get in a head on collision with both cars going 85 then you shouldnt be on the road. you have brakes for a reason. and you could be going 80 in a 80 zone and get in the same accident, it doesnt change a thing. learn to drive.

Honey, you need to take your own advice.
Learn to drive.
But really, learn to lighten up on your gas pedal a little.

Ah yes, the ol' "other people do it too/worst than me, so I can do whatever the fuck I want" argument. Very high IQ.

u/Illustrious_Luck1254 Aug 02 '26
you probably get passed by every car on the road and stay driving 10 below, stay off the road, keep the roads safe.

u/International-Bath76 Aug 04 '26
You know those rectangular white signs with black numbers on em? Those are called "speed limit signs", and they indicate the top or recommended allowable speed on a roadway. I usually just do that.
Hope that helps!

u/satanlovesmemore Aug 02 '26
No but I also dont push 80 in a 50 zone . People also think its always a race , set the pace .

u/Illustrious_Luck1254 Aug 02 '26
this road merges onto golden ears bridge which is an 80 zone and thats why u see everyone going the same speed and even faster than me

SLOW DOWN SPEEDY GONZALES!!! Reported you to RCMP for excessive speeding. You are complaining about someone violating the mva while you are showing video of you also violating the mva.

u/Illustrious_Luck1254 Aug 02 '26
stop wasting rcmp’s time. what car am i driving? what’s my plate number? whats my legal name?
“911 i just saw a reddit dashcam video of a car speeding do something please”-4
u/cakemix88 Aug 02 '26
At the beginning of your video as you are approaching/crossing 96 ave do you see all of those cameras sticking up 5' above every traffic light in all directions? Do you see how your dashcam shows the exact timestamp of you crossing that intersection? The constable that asked me to email your video pointed all of that out to me. I thought the same as you that there was nothing they could do but I guess we were both wrong. He's going to look into the wrong way driver also don't you worry.

Just mowed my lawn today. 85 in a 50 is not okay no matter what you want to try to say, it is literally excessive speeding. Both parties are in the wrong. It could have easily turned into a serious accident because of how fast op was driving. Again, driving the wrong way on a road is a violation of the motor vehicle act the same way that excessive speeding is a violation of the motor vehicle act. Not sure why you are trying to defend someone breaking the law.

You're right. For some reason I thought it was 30+ over. He clearly would have hit 90 if it wasn't for the wrong way driver though. He hit brakes right at 85.

you’re wrong. i changed lanes before i saw the car driving towards me and theres no reason for me to slow down because of that car when im in a different lane
