The crash has renewed attention on safety along the corridor. A Squamish resident and administrator of the Sea to Sky Road Conditions Facebook page has launched a petition calling for improved highway safety measures.
Please put in a train line! It could help reduce the amount of vehicles on the highway. I would use the train to go skiing!
There is a train track that’s rarely used, but could easily pick up people in West Vancouver and drop them in Whistler. Of course, our elected officials, bureaucrats, and greedy business people won’t let this happen. But without them, it’s certainly possible.
There should be speed cameras all along the highway. I know it would be expensive but it would catch the people excessively speeding or recklessly driving or drinking and it would cause speeders etc..to think about their actions or speeding as they would get a ticket??the excessive speeders names would be published in newspapers but you probably can’t do that under freedom of information??
The highway is marked really well and is maintained really well also, it’s the reckless drivers who don’t pay attention to the road distraction like texting taking pictures/video dui speeding etc is the causes of the accidents I believe. If your vehicle is safe and your a careful driver these accidents can be avoided,sad to say.
The highway is fine. Most accidents are caused by speeding, tailgating, and inattentive drivers.
