No hitchhiking signs.
to get a second look

By DUSTIN QUEZADA

A PLAN to put up more

signs warning people it is _
illegal to hitchhike on area |

highways will be revisited

now that questions about ”

whether the - practice is
allowed or not have been
‘answered.

_. The plan had, been a
response to prevent hitch-

‘hiking because a number .

of missing and murdered
women along Hwy16 were
last seen trying to get rides.

A manager with the Kiti-
mat-Stikine Regional Dis-
_ trict said last week the idea

had been put aside after a

A conversation he had with a

Ministry of Transportation
official earlier this year.

. “I’m going to ask for
clarification from the Min-
istry of Highways (Trans-
portation) and the RCMP,”
said Andy Webber,. adding
he understood from that talk
that hitchhiking was not
an illegal activity on local
highways and that picking
up hitchhikers was illegal.

Webber also says he un-
derstood the local highways
were not classified as free-
ways and, therefore not eli-
gible to have the.signs.

Publicly, board direc-
tor Marylin Davies, who
is also a Terrace city coun-
cillor, also feared the sign
plan was fruitless because

_she had thought the practice
was legal. Davies, who ad-
. vised the board in June that
it could not put up no hitch-
hiking signs on the three
highways because the prac-

tice is only illegal on free-.
ways, says she now knows -

that isn’t the case.

“I understand now that
_ [hitchhiking on local high-
ways] is not legal,” said
Davies. “I would suggest
people don't understand
(the rules).”

_ An RCMP staff sergeant
based in Langley shcep-

ishly admitted he, too, was

unsure,

“T had to go look it up,” |

said Staff Sgt. Ted Emanu-

' els, with the “E” Division
Traffic Services.

What Emanuels found in

‘the Motor Vehicle Act was

- that a pedestrian is prohibit-

ed from being on aroadway _
to solicit a ride — or hitch-

. hike.
“A roadway by defi-
‘nition is any highway or
any road,” Emanuels said.
“You can’t hitchhike on
any road.”
The confusion

‘between schedule one and
schedule two highways.
Schedule one highways are
multi-lane urban freeways.

“No hitchhiking signs -

are required on schedule
one highways,” said Jeff
Knight, Ministry of Trans-
portation spokesperson.

* jook at ‘it,

may
arise from the differences .

_ The signs Knight is refer-
ring to read: No hitchhiking
— pickup is illegal. There is

one on Hwy16 West off of —

Brooks St. ; Sn
In fact, says Emanuel,
the reverse is true.

“There is no charge for .

picking. up. (hitchhikers),
just ‘for hitchhiking,”’ said
the staff sergeant. People

found trying to solicit a ride .
in B.C. face a $109 fine.”

-Knight says the signs are

not normally erected on any

Unlike urban freeways,
where Emanuels says pedes-
trians would be “removed
from the highway one way

or another,” pedestrians are
allowed on schedule two ,
highways as long as they .
