The provincial government and the RCMP are working together in construction zones across B.C. to increase the safety of traffic control persons and construction workers, as part of the government's ongoing commitment to road safety.
The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, the ministry's Commercial Vehicle Safety Enforcement branch, and the RCMP are:
• increasing speed enforcement in active construction zones where traffic control personnel are present.
• targeting distracted drivers using illegal handheld devices, or operating their vehicles unsafely.
• installing additional portable speed display signs in high-traffic construction zones to alert drivers to slow down and drive with caution.
Construction zones are busy and often require traffic pattern changes. Motorists should be alert, obey instructions from traffic control persons and obey posted speed limits.
Under the new speeding law, motorists caught driving 40 km/h over the posted speed limit will have their vehicle impounded for seven days and face escalating penalties for repeat offences. Currently, in British Columbia fines for speeding in a construction zone can cost the offender up to $483.
The RCMP, the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, and the BC Flagging Association will monitor the effectiveness of the added measures to ensure these safety strategies achieve the intended results.
