US EditionMore than 2,200 speeding tickets handed out across the Okanagan in May
- BC Highway Patrol confirmed that there were zero deaths on provincial roads over the Victoria Day long weekend from May 17 to 19, 2024.
- This outcome follows an average of four deaths in previous years, making it the safest long weekend in at least six years.
- Enforcement included nearly 2,000 speeding tickets and 79 vehicles impounded for excessive speeding across multiple regions during the weekend.
- For instance, a 24-year-old man from Alberta was stopped near Golden for speeding at 191 km/h in a zone with a speed limit of 100 km/h and was subsequently handed a five-month driving ban.
- These results suggest that high-visibility enforcement and public safety campaigns in May contributed to reducing road deaths despite ongoing reckless driving.
