I beleive in twinning this highway if it will help save lives. It is not a killer highway but shitty drivers who are inconsiderate and treat this like a race track that give this highway a bad rep. Have photo radar and you will make a fortune and can probably pay for this project off quickly with the revenue you will collect from these idiots:)

Please take action to remedy the horrible conditions on this death trap of a highway. I myself have had several near-death experiences, have witnessed both horrible accidents and their aftermath (memories which will haunt me to the end of my days) and have experienced countless near-misses. The only times in my life that I have called 9-1-1 have all been on this highway. I eventually changed careers simply to avoid this stretch of road (and by association, death) – a ridiculous concept, but a choice with which I remain totally satisfied. I firmly believe that the driving conditions of this highway are so bad that refusing unsafe work legislation should include the right to refuse to travel Highway 63.

Thanks to the brave members of the Wood Buffalo RCMP who risk their lives to enforce laws on this highway to hell.

I think the Gov’t should bring back chain gains. People like the guy clocked doing 279 km/hr should be put to work to twin the hwy.

Please twin highway 63 with the addition of a toll booth. Albertan’s should not have to pay for that highway using 100 per cent of tax dollars given how much of it is used by industry. The cost to twin is too great a price because of some drivers in the Fort Mac. area who are irresponsible. I would prefer a toll booth or at least seizure of cars before 100 per cent funding from taxes is used. Highway 2 between Calgary and Edmonton is a twin and you see just as many collisions and injuries.

Driving this highway almost every weekend for pleasure and during the week for work really became quite the scare… The norm on the HWY was 110 KM/H if you were going any slower you would be getting drivers right on your tail the entire trip… also when traveling at 110 would still see multiple vehicles… sometimes even Semi-trucks passing at speeds above 120 km/h. Please twin and consider more patrols!!

Yes twinning will eventually help and should continue. However;
To get immediate safety seems to be the goal.

Passing in the blind… out of frustration is implicated and endangers all drivers.
Mounting cameras on trucks and cars that are using the road regularly might encourage compliance. Evidence needs to be used.

Phoning in licence plate numbers of dangerous drivers, could be a pact among frequent users of 63.
Compulsory Passes with chips in them that show a GPS history of vehicles positions and times on the road might be worth trying.

1. Speed up the twinning

2. Make it a toll road.
2a. Local residence don’t have to pay.
2b. Charge by the number of axles.
3. Use time stamping to be able to catch speeders.
(At 100km/h it should take you X amount of time. Giving a 10% room for error. if you did it in under 90% of that time, you were speeding.)

So there you go,

1. NO new taxes
2. Local Residences not having to pay for it.
3. A way to pay for the upkeep of the road.
4. A way to catch speeders without the cost of extra police force.
