Kamloops,BC,CAN -Truck News -2 July 2014: -- Even though passenger car and light truck drivers can now legally cruise along at 120km/h on British Columbia’ Othello Road/Highway 5 and on Highway 97C from Aspen Grove to the Drought Hill Interchange in Peachland, the British Columbia Trucking Association (BCTA), said it is unlikely that truckers will reach those same speeds... According to the BCTA, despite changes to the province’s speed limits, trucks won’t be moving any faster because it isn’t economical or safe... The province’s ministry of transportation and infrastructure announced a number of new measures to improve safety and mobility on the province’s highways. Included in those changes are speed limit increases for 1,300 kilometres of rural highways, bumping up the maximum speed on certain divided highways to 120 km/h, and introducing a pilot program to test how variable speed zones would work on certain sections of the Trans-Canada, Coquihalla and Sea-to-Sky highways... One change the BCTA likes, however, is the variable speed pilot project...
