BC Highway Patrol will be increasing roadblocks for Anahim Lake and Quesnel.
This will remain through their summer impaired driving campaign, demonstrating zero tolerance drivers under the influence.
Corporal Melissa Jongema said “In order to reduce traffic fatalities, BC Highway Patrol is asking you to report high-risk drivers to your local police.”
Examples of high-risk driving include impaired drivers, fatigued drivers, vehicles passing on a solid double line and/or around curves, vehicles failing to maintain their lane, excessive speeders, and drivers that nearly cause a collision.
Anyone planning to consume alcohol or drugs are encouraged to arrange a safe ride home such as having a designated driver, taking a taxi, or transit.
Drivers in Anahim Lake and Quesnel can expect to see the increase in roadblocks in late July.
