Drivers issued 80 speeding tickets in Yoho National Park to reduce bear collisions

Canada Headlines News

Canada Latest News, Canada Headlines

B.C. Highway Patrol officers issued 80 speeding tickets to drivers and impounded four vehicles in Yoho National Park on the week of June 13.

The enforcement campaign came after Parks Canada officials at Yoho National Park requested assistance from the RCMP to reduce the number of collisions with bears on the Trans Canada Highway east of Field. In order to reduce the number of bear collisions, Parks Canada established a no-stopping zone and a temporary speed limit reduction along a 10-kilometre portion of the highway. The highway has become popular with black bears and grizzly bears due to an abundance of high-value food sources found along the road.Motorists were advised to never stop alongside the road to watch bears or get out of their vehicle and approach any bear.

By slowing down, drivers reduce the risk and severity of a collision with wildlife, including bears. If you are involved in a collision with wildlife in a National Park, remain in your vehicle if at all possible. In the case of a collision with a bear, where there is one, there may be more.”
