Vancouver council approves mandatory side guard motion for heavy trucks in urban areas
At Wednesday’s city council meeting, councillors also discussed a review of traffic planning in areas where right-hand turns intercept with bike lanes, and called for the federal government to make side guards mandatory on semi-trucks.“Having witnessed the accident from a few metres away, I know that Agustin’s life would have been saved if that truck had had side guards,” Renata Rovelo said, adding pedestrians would be protected also.
“Side guards on that truck would have saved Agustin’s life. Side guards could save your life, your cousin’s, your partners or your children’s life,” Rodrigo Alessio said.
