Driving home last night on NB Sarcee and it's jammed up as usual between 17th and Bow Trail. Just north of Sarcee the median is grass and very wide (like 30-40m wide). Dude ahead of me decides he's not going to wait and peels off NB Sarcee, across the median, onto SB Sarcee and then up the exit ramp onto 17th. I've seen it hundreds of times especially when traffic is really backed up and peopel get impatient. A few cars behind him is a CPS vehicle which immediately follows him and pulls him over.
Initially this made me happy and finally someone is having their impatience rewarded by karma but now I'm wondering if they actually did anything wrong (legally)?

U turns are only legal at intersections, and only if there’s no traffic lights or sign prohibiting it. That’s probably what he dinged him for.
