Try going Eastbound on Kingsway, passing Rupert, on either the left of middle lane going 20 to 30km/h, then tell me how does your stomach feel after

As much as I dont like what ICBC is doing, Ill gladly accept their money and build the roads

Especially in the far left lane.
There's a huge dip that Vancouver keeps fucking up.
Every time they patch it up, they do a sloppy job on it
Shit breaks like every couple of days.

Their improvements include speed measures (eg speed bumps) which cut down on the amount of damage in a collision since the speed is lower. Intersection improvements which cut down on accidents etc.
I don't think it has anything to do with jurisdiction. They are a corporation, they don't have jurisdiction in anything. It is within their mandate to reduce try to reduce accidents, hence in theory reduce payouts.. and hopefully reduce fees.
Honestly people who complain about high fees should try moving out of BC and go to any equivalently urbanized area.. eg Sydney, Seattle etc. For the same level of coverage, you will pay significantly more. Quote:

Within City Limits = municipal.

Unless your talking about repairs only and not new highway, then maybe that 9 million would go further
