TRAFFIC CALMING
Traffic calming measures, such as roundabouts and traffic circles, landscaped centre medians, on-street parking and no-vehicle-access areas, help make West Vancouver safer.
HEAVY VEHICLE ROUTES
Trucks, trailers and truck tractor/ tractor-trailer combinations in excess of 11,800 GVW are prohibited from travelling downhill on most streets in West Vancouver below the Upper Levels Highway and on certain other streets.
Longboarding
Longboarding is not permitted in West Vancouver. Despite some residents’ interest in longboarding and the popularity of West Vancouver’s geography for this activity, it is illegal here.
