Doulas St, under the Carey Rd. pedestrian overpass.
Nasty trick speed trap. Usually used on sunny summer days by Saanich Police Motorcycle cops (they never let you off with a warning like other cops sometimes do). As Douglas curves past the WalMart, and turns into the divided Island Highway, it passes under the Galloping Goose Trail pedestrian overpass. Technically, the limit is still a stupid 50KPH for about another 1/2 kilometer ’til you pass Harriet Rd. on the right, where it changes to 70KPH. As you might guess, normal traffic speed by the overpass is about 70-80KPH. The biker cop will hide behind the overpass, in a small paved path on the right that’s hidden by blackberry bushes. Just keep your eyes open as you approach and pass the overpass and don’t hit it until you reach the 70KPH sign and you start to drop down the backside of a slight hill that takes you out of line-of-sight. With Saanich cops, you always have to be wary at the end of the month. Ticket quota? … what ticket quota?
