thac such signs are regulatory;

they are not. Mast exit speed
signs are printed on yellow,
making them advisory only.
Drivers should slow to that
speed only after they are fully
and completely off the high-
way — at least, whenever
that’s practical.

The Capilano Road and

Highway are of deficient

design; those off-ramps drop

before hitting those decclera-

exaggerate their need to slow
down. I’m not condoning
driving beyond one’s abilitics,

affects the ebb and flow of
traffic might well assist you in
learning how to ebb and flow

in a speedier but safer man-
