Speed Changes Officially Announced
Prince George, B.C.- As 250News reported last week, there will be no change to the speed limit on highway 97 or on highway 16, however, there will be a change on the Coquihalla.
The official announcement has just been made by Transportation Minister Todd Stone. He said there was little support for changes in the speed limits in Northern B.C.
The Coquihalla, the Okanagan Connector and Highway 1 will see changes to their speed limits.
The new maximum speed limit in B.C. will be 120 km per hour on some highways.
There will be also a pilot project of variable speed limits which will be marked as changed by an LED sign. The pilot project will see limits change in conjunction with road conditions.
The changes in limits follow a Ministry of Transportation review which called on the public for input on issues of speed, wildlife collisions, larger vehicles and the possibility of making winter tires mandatory for all vehicles.

Why would they increase the limits in the north, too much ticket revenue to be made and gives the cops something to do.
..reason the cpeed limits won’t change in the north is because moose can’t run that fast…..
I find it interesting reading all these posts about police officers and them doing their job. Yes doing their job and that includes enforcing the traffic laws also. Do you know that according to most medical staff I have spoken to that the most drain placed on our tax dollars are from motor vehicle collisions.
So if you don’t want to visit your family and friends in the hospital and help them eat there meal thru a straw, why are you bitching at them for doing there job.
If thats your mantality then – taking the same thing into account – can someone ask you if its alright for them to walk out of a store with out paying for it – Its not a big deal say the item was a choclate bar or a shirt. Its nothing really right so its fair game for everyone to do as they please who cares about society and the rule put in place to keep them safe.
WELL is it ……
I hope my employees don’t think so cause if caugght them they would find themselves explaining themselves to the police yes for that choclate bar given aka stolen and them they would be finding themselves another job also….
Is there any differance between the two – I don’t think so – so get off there backs and let them do there job they are hired for
I don’t mind being pinched for speeding. Its the law, all the officer is doing is saving your life and the life of a potential victim. If the limit is a 100 and your busted doing 125, shut up pay the fine and slow down.
Speed kills.
Getagrip, go back to English 10 and post again.
