Near the 800 block of Esquimalt Rd. (close to Dunsmuir), Esquimalt Rd. curves slightly. The speed limit for this curve is 30kph (the limit for the bulk of Esquimalr Rd. is 50kph).

This is very deceptive speed trap because there are no schools, obstrutions ot hazards which would warrant the speed limit to be reduce to 30kph. The police like to postion themselves facing westbound traffic around the 850 block of Esquimalt Rd. (just past the Bingo parlor). It’s an easy pick-off for the police–by the time you’ve rounded the curve, there’s almost no chance of seeing a radar trap in time to slow down.

An obvious cash grab by the city.
