Let’s try speed zones, cameras at both ends Drivers in Europe are familiar with what they call “speed zones.” Approaching a small village or school, for instance, you might find a sign indicating a speed zone ahead, all operated with cameras at each end. GPS will also warn. Everything is automated, including the ticket. A good friend in Zurich told me about local traffic entering a roundabout too fast. There were many concerns about the cost of the cameras, but the expenditure was paid for in three weeks. The fines are expensive, so you’d probably learn your lesson quickly. Sounds like a good solution for the Malahat. Ken Milbrath Victoria

EVENT UPDATE 💌 We are canceling our Love Letters for SELE₭TEȽ event.
Last week, the B.C. gov announced their decision not to proceed with the #Malahat highway expansion. This is amazing news for #salmon & #oldgrowth 🐟🌲
Stay tuned for more!

Nice! This is the correct decision.

Watercourse structures are critical to keep clear of debris throughout our Service Area. The mini-ex is our primary go to piece of equipment to tend to a truly off-road site. Debris cleared with no issues on the #Malahat today!

Tsartlip First Nation elder Carl Olsen (who has been protesting the #Malahat expansion for three years) said the expansion would mean the loss of 700 trees.
“It’s a four-year project and affects four years of #salmon runs. That will be devastating.”

Very dreary #westcoast #vancouverisland travel day typical January here , I hate driving the #malahat so always hop on the #millbayferry 🛥️❤️ so much more relaxing 😌 #qualicumbound #lovemyisland ✨🌊🌊
I have driven in different countries & can say that #Canadian roads are some of the most dangerous I have experienced. Signage and lighting are generally substanded. I drive the #Malahat regularly its appalling in terms of safety. It needs lighting, barriers & cats eyes & maybe speed cameras.
Light snow fall on #BCHwy1, #Malahat.
No accumalations at this time. Adjust your driving during your Christmas travels.

Thick fog presently on the #Malahat. Winter driving doesn’t just mean snow and ice, it’s also fog, rain, poor visibility & lack of daylight. Always drive to the conditions with your #headlightson!

More lanes makes traffic worse, so at least it won't make traffic worse (except for siphoning money away from public transit) and four years of construction traffic nightmares. #yyj #Malahat
PROPOSED GOLDSTREAM / MALAHAT HWY PROJECT:
$162M and the loss of 700 trees (many of which old-growth)
in exchange for
zero new lanes in either direction is.....not worth it, IMO.

Some pretty robust convective showers pushing SE along E Van Isle, into the Capital Regional District & Gulf Islands. Be prepared for heavy downpours esp if driving #BChwy1 #Malahat Hwy and the #BChwy17 Pat Bay Hwy on the Saanich Peninsula.
