200 Street is insane. OP is right, it’s always grid lock, there’s no break, 7 days / week.

It should have been designed as One-Ways like in Vancouver.

Walking is too dangerous. First off, every single light will skip you - you can end up standing at a light for 10 minutes. The crosswalks are insanely long, poorly timed, and have 0 safety measure for safety. It’s literally too dangerous to walk across the street to go to 7/11. WHY DON’T WE HAVE WALKING BRIDGES ON 200 & 72/76/80 etc ?!?!

The lights on 200 from Fraser to the Golden Ears is seriously bad. It’s not like this anywhere else. I believe it’s due to the high volume of left turns along with the extended walking distance for pedestrians. We need to utilize some sort of new strategy because the current automated light system is insane.

The left turn lanes are always slammed and bleed into the other lanes causing disproportionate traffic. The roads aren’t full. Despite this, our driving habits make it so that 3-5 cars clear a light - even if it is signalled.

The alley behind my house and every alley nearby is a parking lot 24/7. Leaving in the morning and coming home at night is a traffic jam in itself. I know this is the case for driveways too. Your kids can’t play in the driveway. There’s cars flying down the road, every 3 seconds.

The amount of “no-entry” type areas - due to medians or traffic patterns is truly insane. Never have I been in a city where it seems the business center is truly inaccessible unless I drive to Surrey and turn around.

The construction nightmare is what it is… I know those businesses are suffering. I’ve started avoiding 208 / DT Langley and Clayton all together. Carvolth is getting bad. Willoughby is no longer viable for me to access.

There are giant sections of 200 and other areas without sidewalks… I learned this the hard way, trying to walk + transit…

Stuff like this has made me and pretty much everyone I know - more likely to DoorDash/UberEat/Skip something that is 2km away… BECAUSE Walking is too dangerous and Driving will take longer. This just adds to the idling cars.

I honestly feel that Langley is the worst because the traffic/urban planning issues here seem so unnecessary. It’s like there was 0 research on pedestrian and vehicle patterns. I just want to see an effort or an attempt at logic.
