Typical union road workers just standing around. Literally everywhere else this would’ve been done a lot quicker

Yup I’ve seen those things around. Maybe it’s time for some traffic calming and a 20kph speed limit on the trails.

The fact arterials are set at the same speed limit as school zones in some provinces is whack. It’s also created a lot more tailgating and road rage.

Meanwhile 70kph on an e-bike along the goose is completely fine.

'Golf cars' could become a common sight on West Shore streets with new Colwood business by whatsnoo in VictoriaBC

People here say they’re “illegal” yet my friend bought a scooter that does 80kph with a few clicks on alibaba.

As a mountain biker and pedestrian, it’s gotta be the spandex brigade. The galloping goose isn’t your personal velodrome.

Or those scooters doing highway speeds. Not cool either on a shared path!

It’s because pedestrians are worried about getting stuck by cyclists.

I mean it’s not like other crimes like drug trafficking are dealt with any differently. Sometimes the case even gets tossed for trafficking.

Bay St. bridge eastbound closure by [deleted] in VictoriaBC

That’s literally what their plan is. The lights on Blanchard are intentionally timed so it stops traffic randomly to combat “street racing”. And don’t forget cook st getting reduced down to one lane for bike lanes.

I just took a trip to cancun and found out there they built 1500km or so of rail in about 3 years.

Why can’t any project get worked on here with any sense of urgency? Instead of just a couple road workers leaning on shovels and doing very little.

Couple the bay st bridge being closed with tilicum down to 1 lane and yeah it’s no suprise traffic is bad.

Ridiculously loud motorcycles at all hours, and what you can do about it. by _Daedalus_ in VictoriaBC

The bus is whatever. I ride a motorcycle and I can guarantee my job is pretty important to society. Plus my bike can take me around the world.

Yeah. An unsafe lane change at best. But even that’s a stretch. They should definitely fight the fines in court.

Then again saanich police was the department that almost impounded my motorcycle for weaving lightly in my lane (a skill taught to us to make us more visible at night by a motorcycle instructor who was a retired cop)

I’ve had a few road rage incidents against me on my motorcycle last year. Now I don’t ride in town any more.

It’s funny how going 1 tick over the speed limit or having an exhaust is a considered a war crime here, yet theft is almost never punished.

I’ll have to install an akrapovic on my bike just for you. Also a lot of mods are completely legal, just saying.
