In anticipation of the increase in traffic, the Washington State Patrol (WSP) and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) encourage drivers to be on the ball and make good choices this summer. Multiple matches are scheduled in Seattle and British Columbia throughout June and July. Additionally, numerous fan zones are set to be hosted throughout the region. Expected fans attending the events will add to the region’s usual summer traffic influx, meaning it’s important for everyone to do their part when it comes to roadway safety. Drivers crossing the border must be aware of the change from miles per hour (mph) in the United States to kilometres per hour (km/h) in Canada. Excessive speed is not only unsafe, but also unacceptable and a fineable offense in both regions; in British Columbia, excessive speed may lead to your vehicle being towed.
