just thought i'd give anyone headed up this way this year or anytime, DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT BE SPEEDING on the gold river hiway, we have a young rcmp officer here who has/is issuing a TON of speeding tickets and coastline towing is getting a TON of business for impounds, im sure most will be towing boats so probably not an issue for most, most of us locals already know but i see a lot of out of towners getting burned as they have no idea, especially when he is hiding in the bushes on the gold river side straight stretches
, im not kidding, everytime i go out of town or return to town there is someone pulled over and/or a car on a tow truck, just a heads up
...the rcmp as well as local council is trying to get the speed limit bumped up to 90 from 80 but seems it taking a while to achieve this....holmes*
