Social media users in Vancouver are up in arms over a Twitter video showing five consecutive vehicles disobeying a stop sign in a school zone on the city’s West Side.
Vancouver lawyer Paul Doroshenko captured the footage at the intersection of West 27th Avenue and Crown Street and posted it Thursday evening. Only the last vehicle in the video, a white pickup truck, comes to a complete stop before turning right.
“I see a culture shift on the West Side. Stop signs are now considered optional,” Doroshenko wrote in the post. “I made this video in a school zone. I dream of the day (Vancouver Police Department) puts some effort into stop sign enforcement.”
Doroshenko called the incident a “regular occurrence” in the area.
“I walk by there every day that I drop my kids off at school,” he told CTV News on Friday. “At that particular location, there’s been occasion in the past where I’ve had to grab my kids by the hand and yank them out of the way of the vehicle blowing through the stop sign.”
