Nearly two-dozen drivers were caught in a speed trap outside a Vancouver elementary school on Thursday – as students were settling back into their daily routines.
The rushed motorists were nabbed near 16th Avenue and Camosun Street, in the area of Queen Elizabeth Elementary, according to a social media post from the Vancouver Police Department’s Traffic Unit.
One of the drivers was clocked going 112 km/h in a 40 km/h zone, nearly three times the legal limit.
That driver was handed a $368 fine for excessive speeding – defined as going at least 41 km/h too fast – and their vehicle was impounded.
An image of the ticket shared by the VPD identifies the driver’s yellow-and-blue car as a Ford station wagon.
