After years of blowing past all signage I just tried to actually obey the 20km/h and then the 5km/h up the ramp to the drop off area.

20km/h on that straightaway feels comical and the folks behind me were visibly annoyed. The slowest I was able to drive up the ramp asking me to do 5km/h in first gear without stalling was 8km/h.

I would like to see someone at BC ferries demonstrate this being done and tell me with a straight face that 5km/h is reasonable

That’s 3mph for you americans

Not sure the point of this but what car do i need to buy in order to remain complacent? Because my 400hp car cannot drive uphill at 5km/h

    Do you have dashcam of doing 20 there? That is a long journey at 20 lol, and it’s also one of the smoothest sections of pavement in all of BC

      I take it you’re talking about Tsawwassen? Because that’s about the only ferry terminal in BC I’d classify as “smooth,” and I’ve been at most of them.

      No dashcam footage, but I’m sure there’s lots of people with stories of the guy they got stuck behind actually doing 20 all the way down the causeway.
