Speed limit enforcement in British Columbia

[GeeCee]

They also used to have fixed speed cameras which were indeed removed when the BC Liberals came back into power in 2001. The signs were put up at the same time that the speed cameras initially went up, but were never removed. You could argue that they refer to the red light cameras but it's a little bit flimsy.

In terms of why people speed, it's mostly because the speed limits are largely arbitrarily set to be too low for the roads in question. If they're too low, then the 'norm' will be breaking the speed limit. If the speed limits around here were actually set to the 85% percentile like they're supposed to be, it wouldn't be such an issue.
