BC Motor Vehicle Act applies (and you need driver's licence, safe
vehicle, insurance) when you are driving on a highway.

right-of-way, and lane that's designed for, intended for, or used

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.

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. |
