Highway 19, Nanaimo
The new Nanaimo bypass which skirts the west side of Nanaimo is posted 80 km/h currently. This area is heavily patrolled by the local Detachment of the RCMP with radar. Lots of u-turn lanes for police to make turns to pursue you. Watch for idiot drivers who don’t know the area, but go too darned fast in any case.
Highway 19 Nanaimo-Fanny Bay
Radar north of Nanaimo with the odd laser trap in the southbound lane at the bottom of the hill at the Nanoose Bay rest area. Standing in line with the power pole targeting the southbound traffic. Radar in the 60 km/Hzone at Nanoose. When travelling Hwy 19 on the new 4 lane section from Parksville to Fanny Bay watch for laser traps under the overpass at the bottom of a hill just north of Parksville. The hill gets your speed up and the over pass gives the officer a nice shady place to set up in the summer or out of the rain in the wet season. Any over pass on this road should be treated with caution. Watch for drivers flashing you in advance of speed traps. Parksville has radar and also use aircraft. They also have a white Z28 Camaro and the usual Crown Vics or caprices all in white with clear covers on the light bar.
