Anyone thinking that the limit is going to be set a reasonable amount above the speed limit is dreaming. Witness what's been done recently, roads on which speed limits had been increased have had their speed limits decreased again, when the data showed that the vast majority of accidents on those roads were for factors other than speed. | The three sections on my commute were lowered even though they had all been upgraded with meridian barriers and had intersections removed AFTER the speed limit had been increased several years ago.
So, it was safer than it was when the speed limit was originally increased, but they decreased it again anyways.

Agreed, I'm no Liberal party fan-boy, it's infuriating that they treated ICBC's coffers (of OUR money) as a general revenue piggy bank for years when ICBC was doing well. All I'm saying is that the NDP have handed them an easy campaign message. Saying "We'll get rid of speed cameras!" is NOT a policy platform on which anyone can run a government, but it's a message that would appeal to the angry masses during an election cycle. Vancouver is a fairly "green" city but people seem pretty pissed off about some non-green things right now (gas prices etc.) Quote:

Just look at what the NDP is doing with budgets right now, they aren't reducing costs, but they are incurring more debt to pay for the money they are spending, if anyone thinks thats different or better than raping ICBC for money, your dreaming. Our government simply overspends, they need to look at cutting the things they spend money on and balancing our budget, and no politician wants to do that, cause they think it is unpolpular and they wont get elected again, so they keep making expensive promises and finding new and creative ways to rape our wallets to pay for them.
I would gladly vote for a politician who seems earnestly interested in balancing the budget and bringing BC back down to earth. Doesn't matter which party they are from.
Unfortunately Horgan is not that guy, and the other changes he's making are not for me either, so he's out.

I'm OK with 30 k/mh over. Even better if it caught those kids with no fucks given doing 100 km/h on city roads.

What would the penalty be for say, putting a piece of black construction paper over the lenses without actually damaging it?

they'll probably spin it with some safety angle that you're tampering sensitive equipment and slap you with $10k+ fine

They're setting the limit at 30kmh over.
That's pretty reasonable to me. After seeing yet another smashed C-Lai driven Benz in Langley yesterday at a major intersection, I'm completely okay with this. There are far too many people living here now, who have far too little respect for the other drivers on the road.

So many people bomb over the those bridges like it's the Mission drag strip.
Going into work this morning at 5:30am and 2 cars passed me like I was standing still on the Knight Street bridge, swerving in between the few cars that were on it.

Cars are coming down the hill, and they tag the ones going anything faster than 60.
I mean, come on, man? I don't encourage speeding on the street, but you gotta be reasonable.

If you guys think it's going to be 30km/h over, your on drugs. I'd hedge my bets on that number coming all the way down to 10 over within the first year of the camera's introduction.
You all really need to stick to your guns and not allow this to come back, otherwise we aren't going to be able to get rid of them a second time.

Hmm.. | went to traffic court for speeding. according to judge BC threshold is 19km/hr over posted speed km. so if you do 50 in a 30 zone, SOL, but if you do 48, you ok  - technically speaking.

If someone's doing 50 through an intersection in a school zone they're not getting much sympathy.

i'm ok with driving under 70kph through intersections, something directly under one's control, if it means housing in the region continues to be less fucked up
can't have cake and eat it too...we all knew removing tolls would have streams shifted elsewhere
would somebody please get a handle on the icbc crisis though ffs
