The
BC Motor Vehicle Act applies (and you need a driver's licence,
safe vehicle, and insurance) when you are driving on a highway.
|
| BC
Motor Vehicle Act Section 1: A highway includes every road, street,
right-of-way, and lane that's designed for, intended for, or used
by the public for the passage of vehicles. It also includes private
places and passageways to which the public, for the purpose of parking
or servicing vehicles, has access to or is invited. |

ICBC
v. Routley (1995): A police officer was injured when his car was
struck by an uninsured motorist who was driving on an abandoned
railway right-of-way. Since the time when the tracks and ties
had been removed, the general public (horseback riders, skiers,
hikers, cyclists) had used the right-of-way; therefore, it was
a highway.

a danger to other road users, the driver may be held liable for
injury suffered by others.

If you want to head
left on the next cross street without the risk of making a left
turn at that cross street, you can drive straight through the
intersection and make 3 right turns or loop right through a corner
parking lot.
|
| If you are
driving on a quiet street when you reach a stop sign at a busy cross
street, and you want to get to the other side of the busy street
without the risk of driving straight across the busy street, you
can turn right on the busy street, drive a block, and turn left
at the next intersection. |
