drivebc_history

How many DriveBC road events (incidents, construction, road conditions, weather conditions, special events) had an update in each completed year 2018 to 2025: counts of event IDs updated in the year, grouped by year, month, district, event type, event subtype or road, from the province's Historical DriveBC Events data. Counts of DriveBC event IDs, not of crashes or separate closures. Filters are year range, type, district, severity (MINOR or MAJOR) or road (full name, any case, spelled as DriveBC wrote it), but only one extra dimension at a time. The current year is not included: use drivebc_events for now.

Cost: 1 unit of your allowance (see Rate limits).
