They should have trip photo recognition. It is done in Europe.
Break the journey into five sectione.
A computer takes a picture of a vehicle passing, a hundred kilometers down the road photo radar takes another picture.
From the time intervals the average speed can be workerd out.

Why wouldn't passing lanes every few miles be adequate? That's we all learned to use and they worked just fine. The road signs alreted drivers to to the distance to the next passing lane and we just waited until we got to them to pass. We drove all the way to the west coast like that years ago. I realose the increase traffic volume is an issue but it's also a lot shorter to Ft.McM.
Put in 5 miles of passing lanes every so often and call it good, I say. Let's stop pandering to bad drivers!

Why not make it harder to get a driver's license? Oh, I forgot: driving is a right not to be tampered with.

My husband drives this road at least once a week.He sees the idiots. It is not the road, it's the drivers There are plenty of places to pass, if you are so desperately in need to pass, just dont do it where you cant see! The last awful accident that took 7 lives need not of happened..

The same "insane nuts" in their diesel powered massive pick-up trucks that drive over the speed limit on No. 2 Hwy, are the same nuts that are driving on that Highway 63. Even if you slow down to play it safe and try to stay out of their way,..you are still a candidate for getting involved in an accident, because as you say, they will pass 10 vehicles at a time with no regard for human life. Any beer bottle collector could make a fortune on that highway, if they could figure out how to pull off the highway without getting killed.
I conducted an experiment a few years ago on No. 2 highway driving from Edmonton to Red Deer, driving 112 kmh on the left lane. I got more people passing on the right swearing through their windows, and giving me the finger, 2 people mooned me, 2 people tried to pass on the left shoulder,..but the response and the line up behind me at times 1/2 mile long was unbelieveable....I eventually gave up the ghost and pulled into the right lane,...cause these big rigs would pull right on your butt, threatening to run you off the road.
The only way to create a speed zone on that highway (63) is to double/quadruple the fines every time you get a ticket on that highway....$400.00>800.00>3200.00>6400.00....with demerit points, and get these guys off the highway.
In regards to twinning Bob,...the Highway to Grand Beach in Manitoba used to be a "killer highway deathtrap" on the summer week-ends until they twinned it. It is not accident free but the accident rate is way down from what it used to be...where I saw my first "dead people".

Personal invitations to court are always more of a deterrent than photo-radar tickets. They show up on your driving record and cost in other ways as well, like insurance rates. Speed enough and you'll be taking the bus. The RCMP and Sheriff's departments should have a blitz a few times, just like they did on Highway 2. I'm sure they could "borrow" staff from other locations to do it.

Whenever you news people report/describe an accident you never ever venture a possible cause for the accident ...what gives are you afraid and is it possible the court's have put a gag on you all ?? Why not for example stop calling accidents accidents or crashes and call them by their correct name e.g. mistakes because that is exactly what they are ! Thank you very much Bob and keep up the great work --- Ron

Bob replies: Legal reasons can deter us from venturing a cause for the accident.

They built the Alcan(Alaska Highway) in approximately 6 months in 1942. It is more than 1700 km and over some of the roughest ,muskeg filled territory on the planet. The Goverment whining about costs and difficulty is just that -whining. They on the other hand, endorse spending 2 billion on carbon capture that wont do diddly.
Back to your observations Bob. The province it rife with agressive and ignorant drivers. They are not all on the 63. Mandatory driver testing and reschooling traffic violaters before letting them back on the road is probably going to get the most bang for our bucks. A 200-300 dollar fine is nothing to these people making 6 figures.

Bob, the only way to stop this is to restrict how easy it is to obtain a driver's license. Many people drive like they got it as a prize in a cereal box.

The truck commercials say that you paid $60k for the biggest, baddest mofo on the road and you've earned the privilege to drive like one. These people will crush your puppy and knock over your grandma to get to the light 3.2 seconds faster than you. They'll also go through a red light because traffic only started to move, so they only have to LIGHTLY tap their brakes instead of a full stop. They've earned that right because they're special. The truck commercials and their mommy says so.

Harder driver's exam? No, we can't have that. That would require common sense and personal responsibility. It's not my fault ever, Bob. There's always someone else or thing to blame.

Although I agree speeding is an issue, congestion is the primary problem and twinning should be the primary solution. There are speeders on all highways, but no other highway has the carnage of 63 because no other route has been so overwhelmed by congestion. Secondly, dawdlers are just as much a problem as speeders. We hear anecdotes of drivers passing whole columns of cars at once, but the concerned citizens neglected to mention what was happening at the front of that column. There you would have some senior hunched over her steering wheel going 20 km/h below the limit on a perfectly dry sunny day. Drop a flake of snow on the pavement and said individuals drop their speeds further still, despite having perfect traction and otherwise unhindered control. These are the people who cause rush hours, road rage, and a good portion of the headlines, but despite their perpetual status at the front of the parade known as gridlock, ironically their driving records are usually perfect. They should not be.

By all means increase police presence and speed enforcement, but enforce speed limits from both extremes, too fast and too slow. The critical importance of maintaining orderly flow of traffic must be instilled in motorists from day one. We must become just as incensed with dawdlers as we are with speeders. Legally police can write tickets for exceeding the limit by as little as 1 km/h. The exact same graduated fines should be written for those who go below the speed limit, beginning with 1 km/h below the limit. This should include license suspensions and court appearances for extreme cases of crawling, just as it is for extreme speed. It is time to stop pandering to politically correct solutions and address what is a huge portion of the problem. There is also such thing as too slow.
