The Times Colonist mentioned UBC research that found an increase in road traffic accidents on some B.C. roads is linked to a decision by the former provincial government to raise speed limits on rural highways.
The study was co-authored by Jeff Brubacher, an associate professor and emergency room physician at VGH, and Gord Lovegrove, a transportation engineering expert and associate professor at UBC Okanagan.
Lovegrove said the research team shared their findings with the government who should have acted sooner.
