Funding will install two solar panel speed boards as road users enter the 50 km/hr speed zone in the Village of Fraser Lake.

The Village of Fraser Lake is a rural community located in Northern BC. Highway 16 is one of two major provincial highways that support Northern BC and runs through the community. With this highway traffic, the community has found increased numbers of vehicles and an increase in the speed in which they travel. In order to remind drivers to follow the posted speed the Village of Fraser Lake will install speed reader boards.

“The Village of Fraser Lake is thankful for this funding and enthusiastically looking forward to the installation of our Highway 16 speed boards. With Highway 16 running through our community, the speed boards will alert drivers to the 50 km/hr speed limit that is posted through our community. By slowing traffic, we will improve pedestrian and intersection safety. Slower vehicle speeds result in fewer collisions and better outcomes where injuries do occur. Thank you for your support of our community.”

- Rodney J. Holland, Chief Administrative Officer, Village of Fraser Lake
