Roadblock locations shown are approximate. (Kristen Frier) If you haven’t already heard, B.C. has officially instated roadside travel checks on Highway 1 near Boston Bar, Highway 3 near Manning Park, Highway 5 north of the Great Bear Snow Shed — a tunnel roughly 50 kilometres southeast of Hope — and Highway 99 near Lillooet. At these checkpoints, officers will ask for your driver’s license and the reason for your travel. The good news is, if you’re travelling for work or school-related reasons, finding or providing care/medical services, or fleeing abuse or violence, you realistically should have very little trouble. Otherwise, police will turn you around and ask you to leave the region — or slap you with a $575 fine.
