Police pull over driver for speeding 112 km/h in Vancouver school zone

About two dozen drivers were caught in a speed camera outside a Vancouver elementary school on Thursday as students were returning to their daily classes.

According to a social media post by the Vancouver Police Traffic Division, the speeding drivers were stopped near 16th Avenue and Camosun Street, in the area of ​​Queen Elizabeth Elementary School.

The measurement showed that one of the drivers was driving at 112 km/h in a zone with a speed limit of 40 km/h, which is almost three times the speed limit.

The driver was issued a $368 ticket for speeding – defined as driving at least 25 mph (41 km/h) too fast – and his vehicle was towed to a police impound lot.

A photo of the ticket provided by the VPD shows that the driver’s yellow and blue car is a Ford station wagon.
