Between July 10 to 17, 2023 the Sea to Sky Whistler RCMP conducted excessive speed enforcement on Highway 99 in Whistler. The enforcement initiative was led by the Sea to Sky RCMP’s Officer in Charge, Inspector Robert Dykstra, with a number of Sea to Sky RCMP officers participating.

Within this period, 6 excessive speeders were taken off the road. These vehicles were confirmed by radar to be travelling between 136 to 157 km/hr in a 90 km/hr posted speed zone. In all cases, violation tickets were issued and the vehicles were impounded.

Section 148 of the BC Motor Vehicle Act defines excessive speeding as a speed greater than 40 km/hr over the applicable speed limit. The fines payable for excessive speed range between $368.00 to $483.00 and can result in the vehicle being impounded for 7 days.

The Sea to Sky RCMP’s 2023-24 business plan incorporates delivering exemplary policing services that prioritize public safety, including improving the safety of our roadways through education, prevention and enforcement, said Constable Katrina Boehmer, Media Relations Officer for Sea to Sky RCMP Whistler. We want the residents and visitors who are driving within the Sea to Sky corridor to feel safe and secure during their travels, and the recent enforcement by our Members demonstrates our commitment to that objective.
