Swartz Bay, British Columbia Speed Traps

Approaching the Swartz Bay BC Ferry Terminal, the speed limit is (according to the officer) 50kph after having been 80-90 kph just prior. The opposing traffic at this point has an 80khp limit. Just over the crest of the hill, officers (there were two officers working this trap while I was there) run out in the middle of the hwy and wave "offenders" onto the shoulder to get their "vehicle use tax". The officer states it is due to safety — if safety is an issue at this point, why are they running onto the hwy??? Since this is a frequent hwy used by people returning to the mainland or the states (like me), there is little opportunity for the ticket to be challenged. Just another tax…
