As reported in the Victoria, BC newspaper "the Times Colonist", August 30, 2008. "Edson, Alberta - A 34 year old Alberta man was handed a $12,000 speeding fine this week after police caught him roaring down the highway at 263 kilometres an hour - more than twice the posted limit. On May 1st, a police office noticed the man speeding on a Honda motorcycle on a stretch of highway 16, between Edson and Hinton, Alberta, with a 110 km/h speed limit."

Not his lucky day as traffic routinely clocks around 140 km/hour on that stretch. Ouch.

As you head west from Hinton you enter Jasper National Park.
