Province targets high-speed drivers

KAMLOOPS — The provincial government wants to put the brakes on speeders at crash-prone intersections.

It says an average of 84 crashes occur at each Intersection Safety Camera (ISC) site each year, with an average of 10,500 vehicles going at least 30 km/h over the posted speed limit.

The province says it is taking action by upgrading the existing red light camera program to identify and ticket the fastest vehicles.

“In the coming months, analysis of crash and speed data will inform decisions about activating ISC cameras for speed enforcement,” says the government. “New signs will warn approaching drvers about this enhanced intersection enforcement.”
