With over 626 impaired drivers taken off the road this summer as a result of the Summer Impaired Driving Campaign the BC Highway Patrol (BCHP) is highlighting the “alarming trend” of increasing impaired driving in the province, particularly in rural areas.
Due to ongoing speed concerns, lack of visibility, and multiple requests from Heritage House Assisted Living Residence, the Town of Oliver has decided to temporarily install speed cushions to slow traffic down.
Forget speed humps, “speed cushions” are the new idea to slow traffic down on Oliver’s roads.
How many raised crosswalks is overkill? This is the question at least some Oliver councillors were asking when debating a grant application for the town to install raised crosswalks in an effort to combat high speeds on the town’s roads.
