The Province is adding 30 web cameras to its DriveBC network this year, giving motorists more opportunities to check real-time traffic, road and weather conditions as they plan their trips. Eleven of these will be in the Southern and Central Interior.

With new webcams, motorists will be able to check traffic and weather conditions at the ferry terminals at Balfour (Highway 3A) and Galena Bay (Highway 23). A camera will be added to Highway 3A at Nelson and to Highway 3 in the Bombi Pass.

These 30 new webcams, along with the addition of a number of construction cameras from around the province, will bring the number of webcam images available on DriveBC to over 250. Installations are scheduled to begin this spring, and it is anticipated all will be in operation before winter.

Priority for new web cameras is given to routes prone to extreme weather or traffic congestion, and for sites where there is not already a nearby webcam.

To help ensure easier, safer trips, DriveBC provides timely road condition updates, travel advisories, road closure information for provincial highways, weather information and other important links to the travelling public.

Quotes:

Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure Blair Lekstrom -

"The popularity of DriveBC shows that drivers are making smart choices before they leave on a trip. It is important to know what the road conditions are like along your route, and these new webcams give motorists an excellent tool to help them plan a safe journey."

Minister of Justice and Attorney General Shirley Bond -

"DriveBC's new webcams give motorists the opportunity to find out road and traffic conditions in real-time so they can plan their trip before they leave. The cameras play an important role in keeping families safe on our roads."

Quick Facts:

  • DriveBC is the Province of B.C.'s most popular website.
  • The Province launched the DriveBC website in 2005.
  • DriveBC receives an average of 2.9 million visits per month.
