Safety Planning Review, Highway 99 North,
Horseshoe Bay to Highway 97

G.D. Hamilton Associates Consulting Ltd.

Safety has long been a public concern along Highway 99 North, or the Sea to Sky Highway. To address road safety concerns along Highway 99 North (from Horseshoe Bay to the intersection with Highway 97), the Ministry of Transportation and Highways (Ministry) and the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (ICBC) initiated this review to address road safety as it relates to the long term planning needs for the corridor.

The objective of this study is to ensure that road safety issues along Highway 99 North are explicitly incorporated into the corridor planning process. More specifically, the study objectives are to identify existing safety problems and locations of high risk, diagnose likely collision causes, and develop cost-effective options to mitigate collisions or prevent potential collisions from occurring.
