Vancouver Forum: Vancouver Forum -> Ticket on Kent Street

If you received a TICKET on Kent Street at Argyle on April 9/08 you should dispute it.

Someone turned the sign "NO RIGHT TURN - BICYCLES ONLY" to face eastbound Kent Street traffic. Because of this many people between 3:30 pm and probably about 5:30 pm received tickets when they crossed the railway tracks onto south Kent.

On April 14/08 the City of Vancouver repositioned the sign to its correct orientation. It now faces north and southbound and indicated that you should not turn right onto North Kent - the bike path. The City log number for this job is 169367. You should quote this number in your dispute.

The other thing I learned is that the city police were issuing two different types of tickets. Some people received a motor vehicle act ticket in the amount of $121 and 2 points on your driving record. The other ticket was a Vancouver city bylaw ticket and is only $75. Not sure why they were issing two types of tickets for the same thing.

If you have already paid your fine like me I hope they return your money. Good luck.

If anyone is successful at getting their money back or having the points removed please let me know. I have filed a claim to dispute it and reverse the points and fine.
