The V8-powered convertibie will make its North American shoxroom debut in October of 1987. Navigating per Pemberton Hei -A quaint little neigh- borhood, that Pemberton Heights. «A little bizarre in its ‘street and traffic design, though, but nice just the same. Used to live there, you ‘know. . ‘One intersection in ‘par- : ticular was brought to my. ~ - attention by an avid reader’ who’ has ‘asked me to settle _ alvargiiment.. -Namely, how does one properly manoeuvre through the intersection of Cortell ' Street, Pemberton Avenue “and Keith Road? ‘Many people are assum- “ing that this is a simple four-way intersection with one sniall peculiarity: Cortell Street intersects with Pemberton Avenue which in turn intersects with Keith Road. = ‘AS ‘such; a potentially .. dangerous situation arises .when drivers on Cortell stop , ‘for their stop sign and then’ ‘proceed directly on to Keith thinking that they've com- pleted the one required stop. The'truth is, this is actu- ally two, “T” intersections mutated together. ‘As defined by the mighty Motor Vehicle Act, Cortell Road Conditions 525-4997 BS Ferries eschedule 277-0277 « general inquiries 699-1217 6.C.

To properly, and lawful- ly, navigate a left rn (and only a left turn) off Cortell Street, a driver must first proceed on to Pemberton and stop again at that Avenue’s stop sign before continuing either left or "right on to Keith Road. Furthermore, when turn- ing right off Keith Road (westbound) and on to Pemberton Avenue please keep in.mind that you are briefly traveling through the intersection of Cortell and Pemberton, which means that you are required to. yield to anyone already in motion in that intersection. Confused yet? Such is is of ohts the nature of Pemberton Heights. Take for example all those three-way and four- way stops that used to be uncontrolled intersections. Residents of this ncighbor- hood made a big cafuffe some time back because they were upset by much of the Upper Levels Highway traffic zipping through the area as a short cut south to Marine Drive. The stop signs where placed to act as “Traffic Calmers.” Since Highway | access has been closed, traffic has been dramaticaily reduced, yet the numerous stop signs remain and their effect is now converse. “Traffic agi- tators” is a more appropriate pseudonym for the stop signs. People have a much greater tendency to run stop signs when there is no apparent reason fer their existence. — Then there’s that brutal Capilano Road exit/entrance. You folks asked for that.
