Hello all,

I’m sure you all have heard on the news yesterday that the tolls for the Golden Ears Bridge went up.  For cars an extra 5 cents, and for unregistered trucks up to 15 cents.

More change is on the way for traffic on Highway One on Monday from Langley to Vancouver’s Grandview Highway. Now, we have all seen the construction in different areas of the Trans Canada of late, and the changes in the HOV lane hours. Well, now you will really have to pay attention to the new posted speed limits in certain parts. In some areas we’ll see the speed limit go from the normal 100km/hour to 80km/hour. Even more of a drastic change through the Grandview Highway area as the maximum speed as of Monday will be down to 70km/km.

Obviously these areas will be heavily patrolled and violators will be heavily fined too. If you’re caught speeding the maximum fine is well over $400.00. 

These reduced speed limits are put in place for a reason, for your safety as well as for those who are working in those areas. Anything can happen in construction zones, you need to have full control of your vehicle at all times and be able to stop at a moments notice.  Please PLEASE slow down, and drive cautiously at all times, but especially in construction zones.

Have a great and safe weekend,

M
