LETTER: Be polite, take turns merging

Dear Editor: Regarding the Sept. 2 letter to the editor from Malcolm Barnes about the Capilano and Lynn Valley accesses to the Upper Levels (Trans-Canada Highway), I have been meaning to write every time I witness that dangerous situation.

Dear Editor:

Regarding the Sept. 2 letter to the editor from Malcolm Barnes about the Capilano and Lynn Valley accesses to the Upper Levels (Trans-Canada Highway), I have been meaning to write every time I witness that dangerous situation.

They are “accidents waiting to happen” and if possible, I avoid both — trying for an alternate route.

The other nightmare is trying to get from Deep Cove on to the highway going west. Why is it that people lining up to go over the Lions Gate Bridge, as I do almost daily, are polite and merge, while almost no one (on the highway at Keith Road on-ramp) lets those vehicles in?
