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.

Last week, the B.C. gov announced their decision not to proceed with the #Malahat highway expansion. This is amazing news for #salmon & #oldgrowth 🐟🌲

B.C. halts Malahat highway widening project near Goldstream The B.C. government says it’s shelving its plan to widen the Malahat highway near Goldstream Park and install a median barrier as it awaits further reviews of potential environmental impacts.

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!

Day-use area at Goldstream closed a month after storm knocks down huge tree Discovery of the tree prompted an assessment of dangerous trees in the day-use area along the salmon-spawning river.

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.”

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.

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

First Nations worry Malahat expansion through Goldstream would hurt salmon The widening work includes rock cuts and constructing highway retaining walls hard up against the river, along with cantilevered extensions that hang over the waterway.

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.
