The speed cameras they've proposed will allow them to ticket based on AVERAGE speed, which will mean little to no difference during the time periods where major accidents actually occur (heavy traffic) and will only punish drivers during off-peak periods (where accidents seldom occur).
People speed on the Malahat in the passing zones to get past slow drivers before getting stuck behind another slow driver, so their average speed during heavy traffic is still likely to be below the speed limit even if they go 40 km/h over on the passing sections.
