Watching with great interest the considerable road work presently taking place in Ladner, I was disappointed to see traffic lights remain at the major intersection of Arthur Drive and Ladner Trunk Road.
Traffic engineers, someone informed me, decided there was insufficient room for a ring, or as Europeans say, a roundabout. Nonsense! There is enough room to drive a Second World War Panzer Tiger Tank around with room to spare.
Now traffic will line up on Arthur Drive, awaiting the green light, while emitting clouds of exhaust fumes, causing the environmentalists to weep and wring their hands.
Instead, there could have been a steady flow of traffic around a beautifully landscaped ring.
