943 137 Gibraltar Bay Drive, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 6M2, Canada Not sure what you are requesting; this is way too complicated. The area is from Knollwood to Craigflower Bridge area both coming and going

937 393 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1H3, Canada Merging onto the south bound highway one is confusing for anyone newer to the area. I wish there was more clarity about what to do to merge onto the highway from burnside.
937 119 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1S3, Canada I appreciate the bushes and foliage around the traffic circles but they impede pedestrians. Could they be scaled back to see pedestrians who just step out?
937 20 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 5G7, Canada The congestion in this area for much of the day causes rage and dangerous driving. Despite following the rules, people drive agressive along this stretch. I am concerned that with all the added units it's going to get much worse over the next years. The infrastructure cannot handle what is there already.
936 3844 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 5C7, Canada Terrible antiquated intersection. Lanes need to be added and advance turn signals need to be added.
936 38 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 5G7, Canada Dangerous for pedestrians. Remove the bulge on the southwest corner to improve the flow to the highway. Do not 4 lane Helmcken.
935 2401 Lund Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 0S9, Canada There is a stop sign her where no one stops. That bad behaviour is carried onward to stops at actual intersections in the neighbourhood. Change this to a yield sign!
935 31 Carly Lane, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 0A2, Canada This trail connects the upper and lower parts of the neighbourhood and is in need of more small gravel to eliminate the muddy sections.
935 121 Thetis Vale Crescent, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 6S6, Canada The neighbourhood has sidewalks which are important to many walkers. However, when it snows contractors pile up snow banks here, plus they don't plow the sidewalks. These actions force pedestrians onto the street in bad road conditions which is an accident waiting to happen.
935 1950 Chilco Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 6S7, Canada When driving this intersection from Lund to Chico looking up the hill is hampered by shrubs on the corner lot. This forces one to crap into the crosswalk which is heavily used. Another area where accidents will happen.
935 314 Six Mile Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 2Z6, Canada The traffic circle is a big improvement. Its only issue is that some drives from Atkins expect to "zipper" merge which is not how to navigate it.
935 15 Kaleigh Lane, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 0A2, Canada Contractors for the Strata here pile up snow on the sidewalks every snowfall.
935 Burnside Road West, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 2Z6, Canada The trail here needs better visibility for everyone as there are a lot of shrubs/trees preventing good viewing.
935 38 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 5G7, Canada The bike lane South bound is forced to swerve into the single lane of traffic. Redo so the cyclists don't have to swerve outward - make an island.
935 1445 Burnside Road West, Victoria, British Columbia V9E 2E2, Canada In times when the One is shut down traffic congestion here becomes a nightmare. Consider some way to address it.
935 Trans-Canada Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1M4, Canada If I'm going into town around 4 PM congestion starts here.
935 22 Brydon Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 5G5, Canada Escotter and E bike riders are very fast and don't consider other users. One can't Hera them coming most of the time. They see others as obstacles to get around without warning they are going to pass. Start giving out tickets to riders who aren't curious or wearing a helmet.
935 1759 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1J1, Canada Turning in or out of the library is hard during peak traffic hours.
934 3844 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 5C7, Canada We need a round about.
934 6 Camden Avenue, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 1P5, Canada We need a pedestrian pathway here.
933 1445 Burnside Road West, Victoria, British Columbia V9E 2E2, Canada This appears to be a bottleneck intersection. Because traffic is slow, there are little safety issues.
932 120 Hallowell Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9A 7K2, Canada remove soft left, make hard corner
932 1510 Admirals Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9A 2R1, Canada remove left in/out of Nelson Sq... use Aldersmith St

932 95 View Royal Avenue, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1A6, Canada Design sidewalk / widening / safety improvements... getting extremely hazardous
932 1490 Admirals Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9A 7K7, Canada Do NOT continue the bi-directional bike lanes along Admirals to Island Highway
932 1500 Admirals Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9A 2R1, Canada Work with MOTi and First Nations to construct separated bike lane / sidewalk along all of Admirals east side
932 104 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1M5, Canada Do NOT remove vehicle merge lane from Admirals to Shoreline
932 5a Erskine Lane, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 1R7, Canada Work with CRD to build wide bike AND pedestrian access to/from Erskine and GGT with good signage, maximum sightlines, and lighting
932 1502 Admirals Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9A 2P8, Canada lobby Transit to increase #46 to frequent 7 day week 30 min waits
932 450 Six Mile Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 6S6, Canada lobby transit to increase #53 route to daily, every 30 minutes
932 201 Atkins Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 2Z9, Canada install bus shelter
932 393 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1H3, Canada Work with CRD Water to resolve rock slide risk and re-open full sidewalk
929 2 Watkiss Way, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 0E6, Canada Bad intersection. Chokes amd creates traffic.
928 21 Chancellor Avenue, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 1R1, Canada Safer way to cross street. Maybe pedestrian overpass.
928 3844 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 5C7, Canada Traffic gets congested here.
928 305 Trans-Canada Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 1K8, Canada From this area of the highway from downtown to the west short going both north and south it is not a property functional highway. There needs to be a light rail or alternate route to make the highway functional. Western community has too much population going downtown to accommodate the commuters.
927 2302 Watkiss Way, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 6J6, Canada Start advanced left turn earlier than 4:30 Local residents find it difficult to turn up Watkiss and get out of the congestion
927 Trans-Canada Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 6J7, Canada Bus stop added here in New bus lane to accommodate residents in Watkiss/Highland Road area. If traveling from downtown on the bus you have to get off just before the Shell station at 6 Mile Road. At night that is a very unsafe and scary walk once you leave the well lit main road. You have to go under the overpass along a poorly lit Galloping Goose to eventually get to Watkiss Road. As aduls we are not happy walking this afternoon dark and certainly wouldn't allow my teenagers or older children to walk it. Also would be much better service in bad weather. Would service a lot of residents in that area.
925 1445 Burnside Road West, Victoria, British Columbia V9E 2E2, Canada Major congestion immediate action required Multiple suggestions include No left turn West on burnside at Helmcken between 4:00-6:00 pm Mon-Fri or ask Saanich in good faith to put a No left Turn on Granville at Burnside, because drivers are turning left onto burnside off Granville than turn right onto Helmcken with the right of way over people turning left off Burnside onto Helmcken.
925 26 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 5G7, Canada This should not be an exit onto Helmcken leaving the parking lot as people need to be let in the single lane traffic therefor adding pressure back to burnside. Vehicles should have to travel through Watkiss way while exiting again at least during peak commuting hours
925 2 Watkiss Way, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 0E6, Canada This intersection needs the same right turn access exiting Watkiss onto Helmcken as exiting Helmcken onto Watkiss way has.
925 Trans-Canada Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 6M7, Canada This is a failure on BC Highways this is not where the Exit needed to go instead it should have been further along highway toward thetis but still south and did a loop exit to return back down to old island highway. This would have resulted in a safe separation between entering and exiting highway
924 1255 Burnside Road West, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 5C8, Canada From the strawberry vale hall to the lights at helmeken took 16 mins and this was on a less busy day
924 3844 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 5C7, Canada turning left on to Helmeken from burnside-usually a max of 3 cars can get through the light because of oncoming traffic turning right and traffic being backed up from the light at eagle creek.
924 2 Watkiss Way, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 0E6, Canada Traffic should not be allowed to turn out of eagle creek here. They should have to use the roundabout by the hospital. This bottles up the traffic heading if towards the highway
924 1285 Burnside Road West, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 1P4, Canada It is faster to go all the way around (down Wilkinson to strawberry vale school, left on Hastings, left on Granville and left back on to burnside road west to get to the burnside and Helmeken light. Then to turn right onto Helmeken. Than to wait along burnside to turn left at the lights. The traffic is awful.
923 1801 Admirals Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9A 0B2, Canada the southbound lane needs to be doubled between Gorge Rd and the bridge.
923 38 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 5G7, Canada put two southbound lanes to cross Watkiss Way intersection to alleviate the terribly choked traffic
922 1279 Burnside Road West, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 5K1, Canada How is that the town isn't fully aware of how terrible this intersection is... How can I add markers all the way along W Burnside? it backs up for miles Just off Eaton. We have NO choice but to face traffic .
922 2 Watkiss Way, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 0E6, Canada Again, HORRIBLE congestion. Why is this one lane? Why does it back up and block the round about? Why is there a left turn lane that is so short but only one lane when 90% of the care travelling south here are heading to the highway?
922 2302 Watkiss Way, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 6J6, Canada Why is this suddenly a slow intersection that backs up along rural burnside?
922 1271 Burnside Road West, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 5E8, Canada Can't get off the only street that goes to my house when traffic is backed up!
922 150 Nursery Hill Drive, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 0P2, Canada The entire thetis area is horrendous. both round about, the intersection at Island Highway and where burnside turns to island highway. All a gong show... I promise I am a really positive human being but traffic in residential neighbourhoods is out of control in our community.
921 2 Watkiss Way, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 0E6, Canada Vehicles turning left from Watkiss Way onto Helmcken Rd. frequently fail to yield to pedestrians crossing Helmcken Rd.
921 119 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1M2, Canada Cycling over the overpass is an uncomfortable experience. A separated bike path is needed.
921 211 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1S5, Canada The cycling connection from Helmcken Rd. to the E&N Rail Trail needs to be improved.
921 45 View Royal Avenue, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1A6, Canada I don't think I have seen a bike rack in a single municipal park or facility within the entire town. Am I wrong?
920 3 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 5G5, Canada Traffic congestion
920 1454 Craigflower Road, Esquimalt, British Columbia V9A 2Y8, Canada Traffic congestion
920 150 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9A 4K1, Canada Rush hour traffic congestion
920 38 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 5G7, Canada Traffic congestion
920 1950 Chilco Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 2Z8, Canada On street parking
920 80 Atkins Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 2Z6, Canada Removal of overflow parking

918 1860 Wale Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1J2, Canada Groceries
918 3531 Blanshard Street, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 0B9, Canada Workouts
918 2510 Herbate Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 6J7, Canada Walking
918 799 Mccallum Road, Langford, British Columbia V9B 6A2, Canada Shopping
917 15 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 7Z7, Canada Access to and from Helmcken rd is tricky at high volume times. Sidewalk not finished at ASPIRE development on Helmcken Rd, very dangerous
915 1279 Burnside Road West, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 1P3, Canada Long traffic delays along Helmcken
913 110 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1M5, Canada The intersection at Admirals and Craigflower is dangerous for walkers, bikers, and drivers. Low visibility, lanes merging, bike lanes disappearing, far too many cars using the Island Hwy as a commuter route instead of the freeway create a choke point here.
913 99 View Royal Avenue, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1A6, Canada Commuters avoiding congestion on Island Hwy speed through View Royal Ave creating an unsafe situation from 3-5PM weekdays for walkers and bikers. This is the only route for Harbour neighbourhood residents to walk to the park or trails.
912 184 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9A 7A7, Canada Craigflower/Old Highway up to 4 Mile Pub between 3:30-5:30pm.
912 1454 Craigflower Road, Esquimalt, British Columbia V9A 2Y8, Canada Worst intersection ever between 3:30-5:30 with all the traffic coming from the Marine Base and from dowtown Victoria, all cars trying to avoid Highway 1 on their way to Langford
912 955 Craigflower Road, Esquimalt, British Columbia V9A 2X8, Canada bad intersection too
909 1445 Burnside Road West, Victoria, British Columbia V9E 2E2, Canada Can’t make left turn from burnside to Helmcken Only 2 cars per light are able to turn and burnside gets backed up
908 1803 Admirals Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1M5, Canada This is the worst intersection in View Royal. Traffic gets so backed up and often times only 2 or 3 vehicles turning right off of Admirals Road onto Craigflower during rush hour actually make it through the light. Here's a thought how about a 2 lane traffic circle to eliminate the congestion especially during rush hour.
907 176 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1S3, Canada Cannot get to townhouse project.
906 3024 Craigowan Road, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 6Y6, Canada Terrible traffic makes it very difficult to get in and out of our complex
906 1279 Burnside Road West, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 5K1, Canada Burnside and Helmcken intersection is a disaster
905 150 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9A 7A7, Canada The bike lanes are not sufficient to provide a safe option for riders, there is no vertical/horizontal from this busy arterial. This needs either barrier curb buffer or a cycletrack raised from traffic to encourage more riders. This is a common route down from glentana area to connect to E and N and most cyclists use the sidewalk as they feel unsafe with legacy painted bike lanes, especially those with kids riding alongside or on a cargo bike.
905 288 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1G5, Canada Why rebuild a legacy painted bike lane and slip lane on a bike route when frontage is being replaced? Why not separate cyclists from traffic using the on street parking as a buffer, and rebuild the intersection with the slip lane removed? Lots of money spent and opportunity not taken advantage of.
905 211 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1S5, Canada Add cross ride here to allow cyclists to traverse safely between the E and N and the elementary school. This will benefit all road users: pedestrians not angry that cyclists are riding on the sidewalk, drivers nor delayed by additional cyclists crossings at the crosswalk, cyclists with an all ages and abilities connection to an elementary school.
905 110 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1M5, Canada This is an unsafe and uncomfortable intersection for pedestrians and cyclists. Remove slip lanes to reduce conflict points for pedestrians, add vertical/horizontal separation between cyclists and motor vehicles.
905 1502 Admirals Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9A 4J9, Canada Missing sidewalk, 5m vehicle travel lanes, No bike lanes, Missing or inadequate road crossings? Some low hanging fruit here…. Admirals should be a street to be proud of, coming off the beautiful bridge and Gorge Park. Better crossings between Songhees and shopping district, protected bike lanes to connect E and N with Gorge etc.
905 77 View Royal Avenue, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1A6, Canada Common spot for people (including cyclists) to stop and enjoy the view / waterfront. Add a secure place to lock up a few bikes. Concrete pad with 3 or so inverted u racks near the garbage can or picnic table.
905 239 Heddle Avenue, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1T9, Canada Add vertical/horizontal separation between cyclist and motor vehicles along island highway.
905 1146b Admirals Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9A 7K7, Canada Add vertical/horizontal separation between cyclist and motor vehicles along admirals.
905 1454 Craigflower Road, Esquimalt, British Columbia V9A 2Y8, Canada Opportunity for transit priority, gets congested NB, WB during peak hour.
905 996 Gorge Road West, Victoria, British Columbia V9A 1P2, Canada Add bike parking.
904 15 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 7Z7, Canada It’s very difficult getting in and out of our complex…..SO much traffic on Helmcken.
903 277 Rudyard Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1K6, Canada This road is very unsafe for pedestrians with cars parking everywhere for school but no sidewalk for most of it and the little bit of sidewalk there is sucks
903 227 Glenairlie Drive, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 4V3, Canada Sidewalk ends before you get to school gate…have to walk around a curve on the road to enter the school property
903 238 Stormont Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1P6, Canada Sidewalk is crap
903 260 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1G5, Canada Pedestrian crossing can take forever to change
903 119 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1M2, Canada Needs better crossing for pedestrians
903 1502 Admirals Road, Esquimalt, British Columbia V9A 2X9, Canada Between Canadian tire and Thrifty’s it needs a bike lane
903 287 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1G6, Canada This section of road currently missing the bike lane when heading east needs to be updated
901 29 Knollwood Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1E4, Canada Live here
900 107 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9A 4K1, Canada Severe PM traffic congestion makes bus or car travel near-impossible. Need another westbound lane and/or bus priority
900 1345 Craigflower Road, Esquimalt, British Columbia V9A 2Y7, Canada Severe westbound PM traffic congestion means bus is slower than walking and cars are stuck. Need westbound improvements.
900 1621 Glentana Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9A 4K1, Canada Glentana at Island Highway is not accessible - fire lane is steeply sloped with no sidewalk to overpass or bus stop
900 101 Glentana Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9A 4J9, Canada Glentana at Admirals is designed for free-flowing turning cars, not for pedestrian comfort. There is no bus stop, making access to 24 and 25 difficult
900 1500 Admirals Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9A 2R1, Canada Unsafe crossings and no sidewalk on east side make this area unsafe. It is an environmental justice and reconciliation issue
900 1490 Admirals Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9A 7K7, Canada No trees or shade, poor quality of bus stops make this area unpleasant in summer. It is an environmental justice and reconciliation consideration
900 107 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9A 4K1, Canada It would be nice to have an at-grade crossing somewhere near Shoreline or Glentana
900 286 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1G5, Canada Westbound congestion all through here is bad for buses. An added westbound lane and bus queue-jumping lanes, even at the expense of the centre medians, would be welcome for regional mobility and making transit attractive, thus reducing GhG emissions. There are only 2 east-west routes, this is not just any street.
900 50 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 5G8, Canada The bus stops at the highway are very auto-oriented, not attractive to pedestrians
900 50 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 5G8, Canada The southbound bicycle experience is scary - riding southbound and competing with fast cars turning west onto the on ramp.
900 104 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1M5, Canada Eastbound bicycle lane is scary - fast-moving cars on two sides
900 1520 Admirals Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9A 2P8, Canada Southbound bicycle experience is poor - sharing wide or regular lane with full-speed cars, then competing with right-turning cars at Hallowell Road
900 1801 Admirals Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9A 0B2, Canada Southbound often backs up in PM rush as cars are turning west onto island highway, southbound traffic must wait
900 1342 Trans-Canada Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 5E5, Canada Park and trail heavily impacted by highway noise - it would be great to have a berm or noise barrier
900 996 Gorge Road West, Victoria, British Columbia V9A 1P2, Canada Bicycle-sidewalk interface may not be the safest for seniors from Amica
900 1801 Admirals Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9A 0B2, Canada It is unclear if Craigflower Manor site is publicly accessible - suggest welcoming signage and some park-like amenities for this provincially-owned site
900 285 View Royal Avenue, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1B1, Canada General lack of sidewalks and lighting south of Island Highway make it uncomfortable with kids
900 333a Stewart Avenue, Victoria, British Columbia V9A 7P4, Canada Would like to see more accessible, well-marked water access
900 88 Trans-Canada Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 4P7, Canada Would love to see some noise mitigation (berms, noise barriers) and under or overpass connections across highway to knit community together
900 1352 Trans-Canada Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 5E5, Canada Would love to see some noise mitigation (berms, noise barriers) and under or overpass connections across highway to knit community together
900 991 Portage Road, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 1K9, Canada Would love to see some noise mitigation (berms, noise barriers) and under or overpass connections across highway to knit community together
900 Trans-Canada Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 0S9, Canada Would love to see some noise mitigation (berms, noise barriers) and under or overpass connections across highway to knit community together
900 220 Hart Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9C 1A1, Canada Opportunity for expanded water access and park-like features near six mile
900 1700 Wilfert Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1H8, Canada Opportunity for creek-side trails and natural areas
900 1344 Trans-Canada Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1M3, Canada Would love to see a connecting trail (over- or under-pass) to knit community together
900 2401 Burnside Road West, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 6J6, Canada Love bicycle access to the cafe!
900 21 Caton Place, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1L1, Canada Would love to see a ped connection under the rail and across the creek
900 101 View Royal Avenue, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1A6, Canada Would love to see a ped connection from the beach to the road here to create a loop for enjoying our waterfront
900 30 Demos Place, Victoria, British Columbia V9A 7A7, Canada Poor connections from Glentana neighbourhood to Portage Park, many walking trails not accessible to those with mobility limits or strollers
900 1184 Burnside Road West, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 1N6, Canada Cycling on Burnside Road West is beautiful but scary
900 32 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 5G7, Canada Bicycle access to Eagle Creek Shopping Centre is poor - lots of stairs from bike lane to parking areas
897 3844 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 5C7, Canada Daily congestion on Burnside and the heavy traffic traveling south on Helmcken makes turning left from Burnside to Helmcken difficult.
897 9 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 5G5, Canada Turning left onto Helmcken to travel north is often difficult and dangerous.
895 2136 Meadow Vale Drive, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 6J2, Canada Since adding the stop sign by Thetis/ 6 mile it significantly backs up traffic to Burnside/Watkiss. Impact was immediate. Now with all the new lights, it only has gotten worse. Helmcken /Watkiss is a nightmare at all times. Remove the traffic calming jutouts, let traffic flow.
894 298 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1G5, Canada Heavy traffic all ways of the corner which will increase once condos filled. Safety issues when children get out of schools both elementary and Jr high. Bikes do not obay lights or stop signs making driving difficult.
894 26 Midwood Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1L6, Canada Vehicles jump through helmeken road from highway which is for buses only. Vehicles are moving fast, trying to avoid long lineups of backup Vehicles on highway cutting back onto highway past helmeken overpass.
894 1279 Burnside Road West, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 5K1, Canada Significant backup of vehicles getting worse and will increase will so much development. Safety issues for walking on sidewalks, crossing roads. Delays for vehicles which then causes more traffic on sides roads.
893 1519 Admirals Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9A 2P8, Canada Needs a traffic signal
893 15 Quincy Street, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 5E7, Canada Needs left turn lanes
893 32 Chancellor Avenue, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 1R2, Canada Needs two lanes on Helmcken
892 Trans-Canada Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 1M9, Canada McKenzie is always backed up.
892 110 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1M5, Canada The right turn from Admiral onto Old Island Highway heading towards 6 Mile has a red light, causing major backup along Admiral.
892 3844 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 5C7, Canada The light here causes major backups. Could a roundabout be considered here?
892 4136 Wilkinson Road, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 5A7, Canada This intersection is always backed up. Could a roundabout be considered here?
890 1520 Admirals Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9A 2P8, Canada This intersection is always congested during morning and afternoon commute and seems like frequent accidents happen because people are getting impatient with being stuck in traffic for so long trying to get to work, or home.
890 1445 Burnside Road West, Victoria, British Columbia V9E 2E2, Canada This intersection has been a nightmare for at least the past 8 years that I've had to travel through it for work. It's backed up in all directions not only during commuter hours, but even midday. It can take me 2 to 3 times as long to get home as it does for me to get out to Saanich.
890 996 Gorge Road West, Victoria, British Columbia V9A 1P2, Canada This intersection also becomes congested during commute
890 Mckenzie Avenue, Victoria, British Columbia V8N 1A7, Canada Another very heavily trafficked area, especially during commute. In all of the locations I've mentioned i have witnessed people running red lights, speeding and endangering other drivers and pedestrian with recklessness while in a hurry or being impatient.
890 22 Knollwood Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1E2, Canada This is the only way in and out of or neighborhood. It's frequently backed up in either direction due to commuter traffic. It also feels unsafe if there was ever an emergency that all of the people in this neighborhood only have one way in or out. There's also frequently speeders coming from Sooke rd plus people running the red light, in both directions. I was nearly hit by a speeder running a red light while crossing with my dog one evening. Also, there's no proper sidewalks in this area, it feels dangerous to walk in this area.
889 1279 Burnside Road West, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 1P3, Canada Waiting multiple lights to turn left onto Helmcken when headed north towards Helmcken from Mackenzie. Over congested as main artery for Westshore residents by pass Mackenzie & #1 Hwy. When accidents occur on the #1 Hwy between Mackenzie and Helmken off ramps, Burnside West becomes the main artery westshore residents flock to to "get around" highway. It now sometimes takes 45 min to an hour for me to travel from Burnside West @ Mackenzie Ave to turn onto Eaton Ave. to get home. Accidents are occurring a few times per week now.
889 38 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 5G7, Canada single lane till past Watkiss way, area WAY overburdened by Westshore residents by passing #1 highway
888 46 High Street, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 5C7, Canada Dangerous intersection at which to try to turn left during periods of congestion. A traffic light should be installed.
888 3844 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 5C7, Canada This is the worst intersection I have encountered in Victoria as choke points go. During peak work/school day hours, and especially in the event of an accident in proximity to this intersection, things become gridlocked at this point. The Aspire development, with its 250+ units will worsen this dramatically and is an utterly irresponsible development for View Royal to have greenlit in this regard.

883 1279 Burnside Road West, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 1P3, Canada Long traffic waits and grid locks Too many condos with lack of parking
883 2 Watkiss Way, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 0E6, Canada Dangerous for pedestrians no one ever checks since they have green light
882 296 Eltham Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1J9, Canada Site line to turn right is awful since 2009
882 325 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1G9, Canada Site line to turn right is awful, and to get onto Old Isl and turn right onto Burnett is challenging due to speed of behind you vehicles
882 Trans-Canada Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 1R7, Canada Traffic doesn't stop for you to cross until you wave your arms, as they just fly through here
882 1520 Admirals Road, Esquimalt, British Columbia V9A 2X9, Canada Turning left off Craigflower to Admirals is challenging. The scissor route to merge into one lane on Old Island highway doesn't work very well as drivers go all the way to shoreline to squeeze in
881 38 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 5G7, Canada Vehicles turning left from Watkiss onto Helmcken often do not yield to crosswalk
881 3844 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 5C7, Canada Traffic backs up badly, particularily for people turning left from Burnside onto Helmcken.
880 11 Quincy Street, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 5E7, Canada I love here and it's hard to leave my own driveway
880 3 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 5G5, Canada Turning left here is near impossible some days
880 50 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 5G8, Canada Very sketchy place to cross
879 101 Hospital Way, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 1R7, Canada general area I commute to/from

877 95 View Royal Avenue, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1A6, Canada Steep hill with no visibility
877 276 View Royal Avenue, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1A8, Canada Both bends of Beaumont/View Royal are tight turns with poor visiblity due to plants/brush on each corner. Very busy with pedestrians walking
877 293 View Royal Avenue, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1B3, Canada Just an observation - recent paving done here and water pools at the stop sign.
877 288 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1T2, Canada Not safety, just drives me nuts that the yellow lines don't line up here
877 323 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1G9, Canada This needs to be lit for pedestrian safety , firehall is next door so power should be possible for some lights.
877 529 Prince Robert Drive, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1C9, Canada Deadly little outcropping here, no visibility and tight turns around the rock
877 589 Prince Robert Drive, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1E1, Canada Poor visibility due to overgrowth. When entering or crossing the road here traffic from Langford can come quickly around that corner.
877 474 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1H5, Canada Allow Uturns here to save the poor people on Price from endless cars turning around in their driveways
877 Burnside Road West, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 5R2, Canada Review if it's possible to turn right here to access Watkiss from Island Hwy and vice versa. It will help connect two halfs of View Royal and reduce the need for the U turns on Price
877 80 Atkins Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 2Z6, Canada This seems like it's helped.
877 1a Jedburgh Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1S8, Canada Review if the no left turn is still required here, residents will turn there regardless so let's make sure it's still appropriate.
877 168 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1S3, Canada This can be a little tricky turnong out of the park to the left as traffic can come up quick from the South. Might need a right turn only similar to the school and they can use the roundabout.
877 1279 Burnside Road West, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 1P3, Canada I'm sure this one has enough comments on it.
877 20 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 5G7, Canada This whole area is silly. Traffic calming is a poor choice of words. There should be a right turn lane so it doesn't needlessly back up for those trying to get on #1.
873 414 Six Mile Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 0P2, Canada entering Six Mile Road from Chilco can take over 15 minutes during school hours prior to 9am.
872 1454 Craigflower Road, Esquimalt, British Columbia V9A 2Y8, Canada This intersection is the worst! Need to improve the light timing to increase time for traffic heading to Langford/Colwood at peak times. Encourage full use of right lane on Island Highway after getting thru the intersection so maximum number of cars can get thru each light cycle. Signs saying “use both leaves to merge point” as well as “merge like a zipper” would help as would removing the paint that shows the right lane only used as a turn lane. This lane needs to be maximized. Also would put up some plastic post barricades to stop people from sitting in the right lane with their signal on at the bottom of the hill. BOTH LANES need to be maximized to merge point!!
871 211 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1S5, Canada The connection from the EN trail to Helmcken Rd is terribly configured for cyclists.
871 3146 Esson Road, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 4P4, Canada There should be a stop sign here - cyclists continue straight onto McKenzie; cars have a blind corner but no stop sign (thus the right of way).
869 104 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1M5, Canada Very congested
869 290 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1G5, Canada Very congested

866 1520 Admirals Road, Esquimalt, British Columbia V9A 2X9, Canada Traffic very bad on Island Hwy in rush hours. Twin Island Hwy to 2 lanes each direction. Use bike lanes for extra width if needed.
865 228 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1G2, Canada Terrible traffic congestion during rush hour. People using this route as an alternative to the highway due to traffic
864 1490 Admirals Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9A 2P8, Canada Adding bike crossing and proper AAA intersection protection for bikes and pedestrians
864 100b Aldersmith Place, Victoria, British Columbia V9A 2P8, Canada Adding AAA bike intersection and protected bike lanes that connect E & N to Gorge.
864 1454 Craigflower Road, Esquimalt, British Columbia V9A 2Y8, Canada Adding AAA bike intersection and protected bike lanes that connect gorge to the E and N.
864 192b Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1S2, Canada Updated side walks so that they are smooth and not "faux rock" to reduce tripping for people with mobility issues who might using a cane or walkers
864 2 Watkiss Way, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 0E6, Canada Adding AAA bike intersection and protected bike lanes that connect to the E & N

859 119 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1M2, Canada Remove bushes at intersections so you can see oncoming traffic.
859 131 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1S3, Canada Add speed bumps on Helmcken road by Centennial park to stop cars from going 60kms.
859 1454 Craigflower Road, Esquimalt, British Columbia V9A 2Y8, Canada Install a left turn advance light or separate turn lane for west bound traffic on Craigflower trying to turn left onto Admirals road.
859 18 Demos Place, Victoria, British Columbia V9A 7A7, Canada Remove the high maintenance flower beds in the middle of the road on four mile hill. The maintenance crews slow down traffic as they are constantly there doing garden maintenance. This will speed up traffic flow and cut costs as well.
859 218 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1L1, Canada Add speed bumps in front of the elementary school to make cars obey the 30 kms school speed zone.

848 494 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1H5, Canada Volume at rush hour very high , xxx markings for liquor store dangerous , access SB closed as it is a double yellow line
848 Trans-Canada Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 1M9, Canada Double merge from McKenzie to TCH gross too much volume at rush hour 4 to 5pm , people don't know how to zipper merge

845 612 Boleskine Road, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 1E8, Canada Uptown bottleneck is horrific every day.
845 Trans-Canada Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 4T1, Canada The worst merging setup in the city. This school year, it has been the rare day there has not been an accident in this section of the highway
845 1352 Trans-Canada Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 5E6, Canada Solid gridlock up until here.
845 2550 Blanshard Street, Victoria, British Columbia V8T 5E4, Canada Pretty much all routes into and out of town are choked with traffic.
845 653 Pandora Avenue, Victoria, British Columbia V8W 1N8, Canada I cannot even begin to describe my frustration at the planning and execution of bike lanes in this city. Victoria mayor and council are effectively conducting a class war — those who can’t afford $1.5 m to live in the centre of town close enough to bike to school or work can suck an egg, apparently.
845 6698 Rey Road, Victoria, British Columbia V8Y 1V2, Canada The Pat Bay is the rinky-dinkiest highway that was built for another era. It is an embarrassment.
845 1192 Trans-Canada Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 7E5, Canada A few weeks ago, there was a very serious accident here. Both sides of the highway were closed for hours. Traffic was choked in every direction. God help us if we ever get the Big One in our lifetime and have to use these routes to evacuate.
844 1279 Burnside Road West, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 1P3, Canada Can take a loooong time to get through this intersesction during rush hour.
844 1520 Admirals Road, Esquimalt, British Columbia V9A 2X9, Canada Always incredibly congested during rush hour. would prefer a hard right turn from Island Highway down to Thrifty's. Safer that way for cyclists and pedestrians.
844 996 Gorge Road West, Victoria, British Columbia V9A 1P2, Canada Again, can take foreverduring rush hour to get onto Admirals from the Gorge if turning left.
843 1520 Admirals Road, Esquimalt, British Columbia V9A 2X9, Canada This is the most congested intersection in View Royal. Please reduce traffic from the military base during 3:00-6:00PM.
843 288 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1G5, Canada Construction in Colwood clogs this intersection up. This is bumper-to-bumper.
843 199 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1G1, Canada New condos = more stress on traffic, especially with no turn lane. I have seen drivers drive up the wrong side to 4Mile (and this is before these condos are finished).
843 245 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1S8, Canada New condos = more stress on traffic. View Royal has not communicated how they will handle the increased traffic.
843 243 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1G3, Canada New condos = more stress on traffic. View Royal has not communicated how they will handle the increased traffic.
843 1494 Admirals Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9A 2R1, Canada Military base traffic - please consider lightrail traffic to reduce this traffic.

843 2 Watkiss Way, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 0E6, Canada Add a right hand turn lane for hospital traffic
843 213 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1S5, Canada People are speeding through this school zone.
843 2765 Admirals Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9A 2R2, Canada Better light control - congestion during 3-6PM.
843 2765 Admirals Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9A 2R2, Canada People are speeding through this school zone.
843 104 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1M5, Canada This intersection needs a crossing guard to allow Shoreline staff to leave between 2:30 to 4:30PM.
843 282 Plowright Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1A8, Canada Poor visibility/sharp corner - during rush hour, very dangerous as people are very impatient. No sidewalks, many pedestrians.

843 307 Beaumont Avenue, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1R2, Canada Nefarious activities here - suicides, drug deals, garbage dumping, stolen car dumping
843 393 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1H3, Canada Why is the pedestrian light 40s now to cross? That's far too long. 20 s max.
843 50 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 5G8, Canada Lights have changed so now turning left onto Helmcken off Hwy #1 increases commute by 2 min.
842 1848 Burnside Road West, Victoria, British Columbia V9E 1H6, Canada At 4:30, driving home from work in Saanichton, traffic is congested at watkiss and west burnside.
842 1180 Gerda Road, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 2Z4, Canada If I go home on Helmcken to watkiss way, traffic is backed up all the way to the prison

842 Trans-Canada Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 0S9, Canada There have been several accidents at this on ramp to the trans Canada leading to extreme traffic congestion in all of my routes home from Saanichton

839 2212 Burnside Road West, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 6J6, Canada Need advance green turning left onto Watkiss way from burnside 24 hrs a day
838 1279 Burnside Road West, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 1P3, Canada This intersection can’t clear because Helmcken is 1 lane and backed up.
838 21 Chancellor Avenue, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 1R1, Canada Awful intersection. So dangerous for pedestrians. Lights not long enough to clear Watkiss.
838 2302 Watkiss Way, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 6J6, Canada Impossible to get through because of colwood crawl. Again, people using view royal as a pass through rather than the highway
838 50 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 5G8, Canada Most infuriating light sequence. One shouldn’t hit both lights crossing the highway and the length at 6am is way too long
836 37 Camden Avenue, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 1P8, Canada Galloping Goose Regional Trail - Gradient is a challenge to people who don't want or afford powered micro-mobility.

836 2401 Burnside Road West, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 6M7, Canada Galloping Goose Regional Trail - Gradient is a challenge to people who don't want or afford powered micro-mobility. Worth getting a bypass as a tunnel under Burnside Rd W.
836 Burnside Road West, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 5R2, Canada Is this multiple junction future-proof and disaster-proof? This is the spot where regional road, bike, pedestrian and potential rail traffic go through.
836 184 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 5C6, Canada Island Hwy bike lanes - Gradient is a challenge to people who don't want or afford powered micro-mobility. This can be mitigated by applying multi-level intersection with the E&N Trail bridge in long term.
836 211 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1S5, Canada Helmcken Rd bike lanes - Gradient is a challenge to people who don't want or afford powered micro-mobility. This can be mitigated by applying multi-level intersection with the E&N Trail bridge in long term.
836 118 Aldersmith Place, Victoria, British Columbia V9A 7M7, Canada Lighting along E&N Trail desperately needed. One day there was a cougar sighting and I didn't dare to ride through here in the evening.
836 304 Wilfert Road, Vancouver Island, British Columbia V9C 4J7, Canada Is there any study done to make any kind of highway or light rail or transit bypass here? This may be attractive to light rail or bus because of shorter travel times between west shore and downtown. This may need blessings from the Federal Government.
836 1640 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1H8, Canada Consider renaming the "Old Island Hwy" to avoid subconscious confusion with a freeway. Goldstream Avenue is a good example.
836 494 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1H5, Canada Consider widening the Six Mile Bridge to allow well protected sidewalk and bike path, or even bus lanes.
835 314 Six Mile Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 5G5, Canada Heavy traffic in the mornings when there are a lot of cars and the lights at Six Mile and Island Highway do not allow enough cars to drive through each time.
835 1900 Watkiss Way, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 0S8, Canada Many drivers do not follow the school zone speed limit. We feel unsafe driving in the bike lane on the way to school on Watkiss between Burnside and Talcott.
835 3895 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 7Z3, Canada Traffic congestion at rush hour is very backed up at this intersection, particularly going southbound on Wilkinson towards Burnisde, right next to the Eagle Creek Village.
834 1950 Chilco Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 2Z8, Canada Severely backed up during rush hour
834 314 Six Mile Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 5Z7, Canada Severely backed up during rush hour
834 22 Knollwood Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1E2, Canada Severely backed up during rush hour
829 22 Knollwood Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1E2, Canada This is the only way in and out. To get anywhere in rush hours, there is like 15 minute jam.
829 251 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1S8, Canada The light turns red so often that traffic backs up up to six mile road and sometimes all the way up to McDonalds bumper to bumper. This should not be acceptable, why is limited incoming traffic on helmcken road taking so much preference to traffic sitting idly on old island highway for like half hour to get through this signal to reach work in the morning. This is ridiculous.
828 2440 Chilco Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 6V5, Canada My neighbourhood
828 314 Six Mile Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 2Z8, Canada Bad congestion in the morning
828 310 Wale Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 0J8, Canada Bad congestion going towards Langford throughout the afternoon
827 414 Six Mile Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 0P2, Canada It is daily that someone runs this 4 way stop. Traffic enforcements must be made. Ideally speed bumps along the 6 mile portions on both sides
827 300 Six Mile Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1H5, Canada This intersection is a massive bag log. Should be either a two lane round about or an overpass.
827 Burnside Road West, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 2Z6, Canada High levels of congestion due to traffic light. Suggest better transition options to remove the need for that light
823 184 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 5C6, Canada Would be nice to have a better bike trail connection for students heading to Shoreline school. The Overhead walkway is great, but they have to go down to the sidewalk and up the sidewalk to the school. This inhibits my child from riding their bike.
823 110 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1M5, Canada I'm not sure what's needed but this is a very busy intersection with many students crossing. Traffic congestion here can make travel very slow.

815 414 Six Mile Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 0P2, Canada A it if cars park on the shoulder of six mile road between the highway off ramp and the 4 way stop at Chilco. It’s not clearly marked dedicated parking.
815 414 Six Mile Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 0P2, Canada Residents living in the condominiums park on Chilco road street parking. Into summer it is extremely bad with lake traffic taking up resident parking.
815 86 Atkins Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 2Z8, Canada Traffic is especially heavy on Atkins road and with the volume of cars coming off of the highway it causes six mile road to be heavily congested.
815 307 Six Mile Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 5G6, Canada Six Mike road is not well lit, it needs better street lighting. As a transit user walking from up Six Mike can feel unsafe due to lack of lighting
815 101 Nursery Hill Drive, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 0P2, Canada As a daily transit user the 53 bus route would be improved if it went downtown more than one trip a day. This bus is well used daily.
814 104 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1M5, Canada Terrible congestion in afternoons..west bound
812 290 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1G5, Canada 290 Island Highway is the address of Lions Cove however the front door is off Eltham Rd terribly confusing for deliveries and ambulance drivers
812 295 Eltham Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1K1, Canada Getting in and out of Eltham Rd during rush hours is a challenge.
812 288 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1G5, Canada Turning left onto Helmecken can take a few light changes if you are travelling up Island highway.
812 302 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1G8, Canada These two exits should have some kind of access onto and off of Island highway and coming out of those parking lots…so many near accidents there.
812 474 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1H5, Canada The new dotted line is meaningless to people turning into View Royal. Cars are pulling into the bus lane way before the turn lane begins. I have nearly been smashed by some care speeding down the bus lane. Brand new but try again. Not a good short cut.
812 490 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1H5, Canada people turning into View Royal. Cars are pulling into the bus lane way before the turn lane begins. I have nearly been smashed by some care speeding down the bus lane. Brand new but try again. Not a good short cut.
810 306 Damon Drive, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 5G5, Canada From Six Mile Rd to Atkins, there is no street lighting and no bike paths.
810 490 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1H5, Canada This intersection is very dangerous with the addition of the bus lane. There should be a right turn light from Six Mile onto Island Hwy.
808
808 1495 Admirals Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9A 7K2, Canada Our nearest grocery store
808 110 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1M5, Canada Bottleneck making it hard to get home after going to the nearest stores.
808 107 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1M6, Canada My kid's school
807 1520 Admirals Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9A 2P8, Canada This intersection is very difficult for southbound admirals to eastbound craigflower
807 301 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1G9, Canada This intersection often is backed up and congested. If going from westbound old island to northbound helmkin you can be held up by east west traffic on old island
807 393 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1H3, Canada This intersection can be challenging when on bike heading eastbound old island and merging to continue on eastbound old island because bike lanes from 6 mile to there are confusing
806 205 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1G3, Canada I've found that the only way I can reliably get onto Island Highway on school mornings is by going to the light at View Royal Ave and Island Hwy.
806 284 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1T2, Canada The only way I can reliably turn left in the evenings is by driving to Helmcken and using the left turn lane at the light because there's so much traffic it's nearly impossible to make a left turn from any of the other streets.
805 1511 Admirals Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9A 7M8, Canada The bike lane ends, forcing bikes into the road and slowing cars down. It feels really scary to bike along here as cars are often going very fast as they approach .
805 107 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9A 4K1, Canada As this is a priority destination that students need to get to, there should be protected bike lanes that lead up to the school, with safe crossing points.
803 168 White Pine Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 5E1, Canada Homeless tents and sketchy people sometimes around this walking path
802 1279 Burnside Road West, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 1P3, Canada The majority of traffic are already heading South on Helmcken or are turning left from Burnside Rd to go S on Helmcken. However when the light for Burnside Rd traffic is green those coming from the West (maybe 8-10 of them) currently get priority over those coming from the East (who are lined up for blocks). Having an advanced left turn for Burnside Rd traffic coming from the East would be of great benefit. However changes to the Helmcken/Watkiss light would also be necessary so there is room to turn left onto Helmcken.
802 38 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 5G7, Canada Traffic heading South on Helmcken is regularly backed up for blocks. At Watkiss Way the light for cross traffic is regularly longer than it needs to be; most times I am there the light is green for traffic coming from Watkiss long after all the traffic has already passed through. This means blocks of traffic heading South on Helmcken are waiting for no good reason/while no traffic or pedestrians are moving through the intersection. Changing the timing on this light so it is longer for Helmcken traffic and shorter for Watkiss traffic compared to its current settings is imperative for improving traffic flow in the area.
801 414 Six Mile Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 0P2, Canada Cars are still sometimes unsafe at this 4 way. If space permits, roundabout would be great.
801 1950 Chilco Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 6S7, Canada Improved lighting of this crosswalk at night would be great
801 80 Atkins Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 2Z6, Canada Improved lighting on this section of trail would be great
798 1520 Admirals Road, Esquimalt, British Columbia V9A 2X9, Canada It’s dangerous for pedestrians trying to cross — vehicles are always in gridlock, and people have to walk around cars that get stuck on the crosswalk because the drivers aren’t timing the lights properly.
797 1520 Admirals Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1M5, Canada Dangerous intersection
797 250 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1G2, Canada Hard to park, not much parking
796 110 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1M5, Canada Traffic is very heavy and aggressive. My daughter goes to shoreline and it feels unsafe to pedestrians
796 1520 Admirals Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9A 2P8, Canada There are very few bus stops in close proximity. And it does not feel very safe to walk to the bus stops with young children
795 2750 Shoreline Drive, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1M6, Canada School
795 1520 Admirals Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9A 2P8, Canada Would love a bus stop here for children going to Shoreline who are using bus 24/25 Improvement to crossing at this location would be nice too. The right turn lane does not have a pedestrian light
793 110 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1M5, Canada 20 mins waits at this light
793 107 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9A 4K1, Canada People don't know how to zipper merge and this is such a stressful area to deal with everyday from 3 until 6. People are so unsafe, forcing their way through the intersection so that sometimes no cars can move when the light turns green
793 1500a Admirals Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9A 2X9, Canada No light to help direct people coming out of the parking lot on reserve. Often there are near accidents. People going to the base in the morning and coming home in the evening are known to run red lights here out of impatience or because they are not paying attention.
793 1500 Admirals Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9A 2R1, Canada All along this stretch between 5 am and 6 am, people headed to the base and dockyard drive well above the speed limit racing each other to get to work. I go to Esquimalt pool three days a week at 5:15 am and the aggressive driving at that time of day is very dangerous.
793 1752 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1H8, Canada My son goes to rugby twice a week at JDF and it takes us 45 mins to get there in our car from our home which is 5 mins away. The base and dockyards need to provide a shuttle service for those employees coming in from the westshore. It's ridiculous how many single person vehicles are coming from that area.
793 1736 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1H8, Canada The turn into the JDF Parking lot is very frustrating, why can't we turn left into the parking lot when the light turns red for people to cross? Seems like an unnecessary rule when all traffic is stopped.
793 1700 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 6V4, Canada We might ride to practice more often if there was a more direct route to get to JDF. It's always been frustrating that there isn't a good bus service or better bike route that is more direct to JDF from Admirals, Craigflower, Gorge area.
793 2765 Admirals Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9A 2R2, Canada There are so many post secondary students living in this area who have to go all the way down town and clog up the #14 route to get to Uvic and Camosun Lansdowne campus. There should be better service from our area directly across Admirals/Mckenzie. The esquimalt students and people who work downtown know all too well how frustrating it can be to take the 14 to town and back. For years it has been leaving 10s of people at each stop because it is so full.
793 288 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1G5, Canada Thank you very much for the Advanced left turn here, has made a big difference for safety.
792 135 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1S3, Canada Traffic needs to be slowed, speed limit not being respected
792 200 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1S4, Canada Traffic needs to be slowed, speed limit not being respected
792 225 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1S5, Canada Traffic needs to be slowed, speed limit not being respected
792 1445 Burnside Road West, Victoria, British Columbia V9E 2E2, Canada Timing on this traffic light needs to be adjusted to match traffic flow
792 2709 Shoreline Drive, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1M5, Canada Pedestrian traffic needs to be better managed at the end of the school day
792 104 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1M5, Canada Right hand merge lane needs better markings to avoid drivers merging left to proceed on island hwy only when they arrive at Shoreline Dr
791 104 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1M5, Canada Dangerous crosswalk - needs a light Also, could use a light to allow folks to turn in and out onto Craigflower
791 1801 Admirals Road, Esquimalt, British Columbia V9A 0B2, Canada This road could use a widening to 2 lanes earlier to help congestion that is going straight and not turning onto Craigflower
788 104 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1M5, Canada Very difficult to exit onto Island Hwy from Shoreline Middle School. Unsafe for kids crossing too.
788 1803 Admirals Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1M5, Canada Difficult to turn right onto Island Hwy and then merge. Also difficult for those not needing to merge onto Island Hwy (i.e. just wanting to stay in right-hand lane to turn onto Shoreline Drive). Vehicles trying to turn right onto Island Hwy also block bike lane on Admirals (even though there is a sign that says do not block bike lane). I see near- accidents daily.
788 1454 Craigflower Road, Esquimalt, British Columbia V9A 2Y8, Canada Since there is no left turn signal from Craigflower onto Admirals, many vehicles wanting to carry on straight to Island Hwy choose the right lane to get around those waiting to turn left. Then they have to immediately merge left again once they’re through the interaction to continue going straight.
783 3844 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 5C7, Canada There is no sidewalk or anything protecting pedestrians from traffic and low street lighting here , many people walk here and traffic goes by very fast and the sun affects drivers ability to see. Many people walk up onto Holland avenue from eagle creek.
783 1279 Burnside Road West, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 1P3, Canada Gross. The whole thing is gross. See anyone else’s feedback.
783 1271 Burnside Road West, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 5E8, Canada 30 speed limit is so dumb and this area backs up like crazy regardless of speed limit.
783 6 Camden Avenue, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 1P5, Canada Why the heck was this road changed from two lanes? It has now proven to be such a nightmare and the utopian vision of people walking or bussing or biking isn’t happening. There will be many many more co do units along this corridor in the future and it is goi g to get ouch much worse. Accept reality that people still do and will majority of the time drive cars because: we have to go far, we have small children, we are old, we can afford cars, we like the privacy of cars etc. we are not Amsterdam even though it’s a nice place.
782 1520 Admirals Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9A 2P8, Canada This intersection is regularly backed up around school pick up hours. It is also used by a lot of kids and could use some safety measures.
781 1502 Admirals Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9A 4J9, Canada This should now be a 4-way intersection. Dangerous! Plus better lighting at nigth
781 1494 Admirals Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9A 2R1, Canada Traffic get so back up on this road between the Navy Base and the Old Island Hwy and Island Hwy. We can get trapped in our road if we need to go out between 4-6pm week days.
781 1520 Admirals Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1M5, Canada Could have advanced left onto Admirals going Northbound because cars get stuck behind those turning left and visibility is not great.
780 1803 Admirals Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1M5, Canada Always backed up! Need to move more vehicles westwards. Lane needs to be added going west. Remove sidewalk on Canadian Tire side. Or have lane flow change 3/1 at peek times. Big traffic = big city solutions.
780 184 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 5C6, Canada Love the bike lane over pass but access to Shoreline is poor for middle school students. They need to exit here and either ride the wrong way on in the bike lane or on the sidewalk. Could there not be a path past the maintenance building and the school? It could be fenced to prevent people going else where on the property.
780 494 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1H5, Canada No bike lanes when needed most. Super dangerous. Defeats the purpose of the new lanes where there is lots of space. Whole way or not at all!
779 1520 Admirals Road, Esquimalt, British Columbia V9A 2X9, Canada Admirals Craigflower merge lane at Shoreline needs better signage pertaining to zipper merging and lengthened to ease conjestion
778 474 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1H5, Canada The merge lane on Island Highway for traffic turning onto Old Island Highway is so close to our street, it's dangerous to turn into traffic from Price Road. If we need to turn right and get to the far lane to access Burnside, it is near impossible and very dangerous. It is almost impossible to turn left in the morning unless a pedestrian presses the button at the bus stop crosswalk that was created. If we cant turn left, we have to find a place to make a u-turn if we need to travel toward Colwood. It's also dangerous to turn right into our street off Old Island Highway from Colwood after the transit changes because the merge from the bus lane is so late, people don't realize we are turning at Price and almost rear end us and then honk and get angry when we slow down to turn. Additionally, cars will often turn into the bus lane early and then cut us off on the right side when we are trying to turn into Price Road. We have had near misses and I know our neighbours have too. There have been accidents at that location since the change. Also the changes were made with no thought to bikes. Our daughter cannot access the bike lanes to get to Shoreline Middle School without having to walk her bike on the sidewalk from Price Road and crossing Island Highway at the crosswalk on the corner. People get upset when bikes are on the sidewalks, but cars drive on Island Highway too fast for her to be safe any other way. We need a safe alternative to access the bike path from our area.
778 Burnside Road West, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1V3, Canada It is dangerous on a bike at this area because you have to cross traffic and go straight to get onto the bike path or follow the turn onto Island Highway and cross traffic at Adams to get onto the path. We are so close to an amazing infrastructure, but it's inaccessible!
778 377 Kislingbury Lane, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 5R2, Canada This stretch of the E&N is not lit or if it is, insufficiently. In the winter months, it's unsafe for kids to bike there in the early mornings or late afternoon/ early evening making biking an unsafe alternative for travelling to and from school.
778 130 Burnett Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 4P7, Canada For kids trying to get to Shoreline on bikes from Harbour area on the E&N, this is a challenging area where they either have to walk their bikes on the Shoreline side of the sidewalk (which they may or may not do) or cross the road and ride on the road and try to cross traffic at Shoreline drive. Clear lines and signage indicating bikes ride on the shoreline side of the road when they come down the ramp would make the area safer for everyone.
777 110 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1M5, Canada Admirals at Craigflower. Signage is required to inform drivers about ZIPPER MERGING to improve flow. The right lane to Shoreline drive is labeled as right turn only so drivers try to merge left too early; they block the intersection. Other drivers don't allow them to merge, causing further backup.
777 38 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 5G7, Canada The red light here is extremely long considering it leads to the Emergency room at the hospital. Waiting to turn left takes too long.
777 1803 Admirals Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1M5, Canada There is no advance left traffic light to turn onto Admirals southbound from Craigflower. This is dangerous.
775 1520 Admirals Road, Esquimalt, British Columbia V9A 2X9, Canada Very congested after work
775 1520 Admirals Road, Esquimalt, British Columbia V9A 2X9, Canada Very poor sidewalks on Admirals Rd by the Circle K. Inaccessible to many strollers/wheelchairs/etc. Unable to have two people walk side by side.
774 3830 Mildred Street, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 7G1, Canada Traffic between high st and eagle creek. And high st to marigold school
774 2 Watkiss Way, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 0E6, Canada Helmcken gets very backed up in morning and evening. Traffic light at watkiss is not aligned to light at burnside
774 3760 Grange Road, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 4T1, Canada Narrow road to drop kids off at school in grange. Bike lane has reduced the safety of kids on Grange because cars are now so tight. Bike lane is unnecessary and wasted funds
774 151 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9A 7A7, Canada Terrible congestion along old island highway and light backs up the traffic. busses are well used here.
773 Burnside Road West, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 5R2, Canada This is where the daily congestion starts in the morning
773 199 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1G1, Canada Construction here and several other condo developments have suffocated traffic flow
773 184 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1M6, Canada A stalled bus snarled traffic here for 3 hours because there are ISLANDS all through the one lane road.
773 298 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1G5, Canada UNNECESSARY ISLANDS, SO MANY UNNECESSARY ISLANDS
773 110 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1M5, Canada This ridiculous intersection, three lanes emptying into one?????
773 2709 Shoreline Drive, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1M5, Canada This frightening intersection needs lights or something! But only if Island Highway is expanded outwards!

769 104 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1M5, Canada Terrible congestion and unsafe intersection
766 2 Watkiss Way, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 0E6, Canada Drivers miss seeing pedestrians in crosswalk when turning left despite pedestrian signal priority. Needs advanced pedestrian crossing timing.
766 50 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 5G8, Canada Frequent speeding, which makes crossing unsafe as cars often aren't expecting pedestrians due to road design
766 2 Watkiss Way, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 0E6, Canada Drivers gain speed going downhill and enter roundabout at high speeds, making crossing dangerous. Also, many are confused using roundabout and become distracted to presence of pedestrians actively in crosswalk. Needs pedestrian flashing warning lights
766 3844 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 5C7, Canada Slip lane makes pedestrian crossing unsafe, and creates conflict with left turn drivers from Helmcken over who has priority
766 26 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 5G7, Canada Vehicles often make dangerous, illegal left turns
766 38 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 5G7, Canada Illegal u-turns at intersection
766 20 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 5G7, Canada Traffic congestion slows down bus travel. Needs bus only lane between Burnside and Watkiss
766 2709 Shoreline Drive, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1M5, Canada Right lane should extend to E&N overpass to allow more time for traffic to merge. Ending at an intersection doesn't allow proper zipper merge, increasing congestion
765 110 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1M5, Canada Consider better signage for zippering, remove turn only designation, be able to adjust signal timing for excessive traffic, for when drivers are avoiding congestion elsewhere or there is a slowdown on Isl Hwy, like Oct 31 5pm, dead bus in underpass. Influence employers start/end times, if possible to alleviate congestion. Change the lights to green arrow all four directions, not 3. "No stopping in bike Lane" sign with words, not pictures, on Admirals (at driver eye level, at bike lane). There are too many cryptic signs at that soft right turn. We can't assume everyone does that route everyday, so they know. It might be someone's first time at the intersection and there is a lot to read. I also really don't like the exposure of riding my bike between 2 lanes, so cars can zip off Isl Hwy to the R to Rexall. I would never attempt biking over to the turn lane to turn L to go to Iluka. I would only feel safe going to the lights and being a pedestrian, but, other bikers probably take the chance.
765 290 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1G5, Canada Entrance between daycare and Lions Cove needs to have a 2 way turn option on Isl Hwy. R in and R out causes more congestion.
765 284 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1T2, Canada Has typically felt unsafe as a pedestrian crossing Isl Hwy, S on Helmcken. Cars are frequently trying to beat the oncoming car starting up, when their green arrow has gone. With The Royale and other additions in the neighbourhood, more pedestrians are expected. Choose the safest for our kids.
765 295 Eltham Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1K1, Canada Hard to exit Eltham to go Left on Helmcken; going to roundabout creates 2 trips past the school zone unnecessarily.
765 303 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1G9, Canada Ineffective painted islands that are ignored by most: In front of Salvation Army donation entrance; in front of fire hall parking lot entrance. With both, there is no real effective solution, so something should be changed to allow for that traffic flow...again, two way center lane?
765 151 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9A 7A7, Canada Could there be a smoother transition entrance to get on the E&N from Isl Hwy on a bike. It is a downhill and a curved entrance would help. Consider fencing around the grass area to protect children who might be in playground. Bikes enter behind 4 mile as well, so a barrier all around the grass with playstructure would be an asset

765 130 Burnett Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 4P7, Canada Not sure how it should be accomplished, but rather than the steep hill to ride my bike up Helmcken, it would be great if there was a 2 directional path on the left up Burnett Rd. Biking from Eagle Creek Shopping to Chancellor St. to TCH overpass, onto McClellan Trail, to VR Park, to Paddock Pl, to Burnett to Island Hwy (not the most direct, but the most pleasant for biking)
765 393 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1H3, Canada Enforce accessing bus lane at dotted lines. Very dangerous to be waiting until I am at the dotted line and someone comes racing up on my right, passing me at the time I am looking to move into the turn lane
765 490 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1H5, Canada Enforce accessing bus lane at dotted lines. Very dangerous to be waiting until I am at the dotted line and someone comes racing up on my right, passing me at the time I am looking to move into the turn lane. Much worse during evening commute...they are really in a hurry to get up 6 mile road

754 1279 Burnside Road West, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 1P3, Canada Left turn from Burnside onto Helmcken - significant backups on a daily basis, and drivers often cram into the intersection as a result of long wait times leading cars being stuck in the intersection when the light changes and impeding traffic.
754 50 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 5G8, Canada Drivers often fail to notice pedestrians while travelling at high speeds as they enter the highway. This is a major pedestrian crossing used by people getting off the bus. More warning signs, road markings or flashing lights could help to improve visibility.
750 2709 Shoreline Drive, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1M5, Canada It feels unsafe to cross this intersection on foot

743 110 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1M5, Canada Speed limit should be reduced from 50 to 40 between here and Burnside Rd W. And set to a 30 school zone between here and Helmcken Rd. during school hours.
743 288 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1G5, Canada Speed limit should be set to a 30 school zone between here and Admirals Rd. during school hours.

735 4 Watkiss Way, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 1R7, Canada In order to cross from the Hospital sidewalk to the Eagle Creek stores, one needs to cross a street, then another, then walk to the road divider, then finish walking. A flashing light would be helpful.
735 4 Watkiss Way, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 5G5, Canada The bicycle road marking on the right-side of the street just past the roundabout, starts about 3 meters after the sloping sidewalk ends. This leads me to wonder, are bikes supposed to jump the hard sidewalk curb at this spot, which could be dangerous, or start biking from the sloping section before the bicycle line starts? If this line could be extended, it would be clearer.
735 1 Hospital Way, Victoria, British Columbia V9E 2E2, Canada If a person is biking down Hospital Way, they have no option but to turn right at Watkiss. If they need to go left, they either have to enter the bicycle lane on the near side of Watkiss, which has bikes going the opposite direction, or try to bolt across the highway. I have also seen people run across the highway at the spot. A flashing crosswalk signal would increase safety.
734 336 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1H2, Canada Difficult to access the Old Island Highway especially during commuting hours
734 1803 Admirals Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9A 2Y8, Canada Very congested traffic at this intersection from 2:30pm through to 6pm
734 2709 Shoreline Drive, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1M5, Canada When kids are leaving Shoreline school at 3pm this is a very dangerous intersection. Traffic is heavy at that time of day and cars picking kids up cannot easily enter traffic on the Old Island Highway in any direction. There is a crosswalk that kids use which could be moved closer to the school so they don't cross right at the intersection.
734 4136 Interurban Road, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 6W7, Canada This stretch of Helmcken is often bunged up because the people can't access the right turn to Watkiss and the merge lane to the Trans Canada until the last minute.
730 393 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1H3, Canada Would like to see ability to exit to the Highway from Old Island Highway. I live in Gibraltar Bay Drive an to head South, North (Sidney, Airport, Ferries) or East need to go to Helmcken Rd or Langford to exits. This could assist with some congestion and lessen # of vehicles going through the school zone on Helmcken.
725 1803 Admirals Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1M5, Canada Very congested and dangerous merge during rush hour.
725 490 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1H5, Canada Right turn lane dotted lines should start earlier. If you change lanes at appropriate spot you may cut off others who turned into the lane right after the previous light.
725 Trans-Canada Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 6J7, Canada Many cars park illegally along the exit in the summer and drive the wrong way back to six Mile Rd instead of taking the exit. Dangerous.
722 137 Gibraltar Bay Drive, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 6M2, Canada Morning jams all the way to Helmcken and sometimes to Admirals. This is the only way in and out to go to ferry, airport, work, parks or hospitals. This is almost backed up all the way to six mile road. Traffic light at Helmcken turns red very often and cause the traffic backlog to build up.
720 2095 Goldsmith Street, Victoria, British Columbia V8R 1T5, Canada From harbour to oak bay rec 7-3:30
719 1500b Admirals Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9A 4K2, Canada with DND and Seaspan workers using this corridor I need to be home by 3:00 or noon on Friday
719 6 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 5G6, Canada The traffic coming from the shopping centre interrups every 3 cars coming down Helmcken. With the additional left hand turn signals now being at the intersection of Helmcken and Watkiss this also slows down the traffic
718 280 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1G5, Canada Need bus every 10-15min
718 200 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1G2, Canada We need 2 buses here. Every 15 min! All day! Langford to old island past the fire hall then left on helmcken direct to camousun and then broadmead village. 2nd bus langford down old island highway past fire hall then left on admirals to gorge and downtown past Hillside so we can transfer on the 4. We have no bus downtown or to camosun. I was teaching at camosun I had to walk 20 mins, take a 10 min bus , transfer and try to make a 2nd bus. We need more buses that go view royal to broadmead and v/r to downtown through gorge. 14 is not secure and always late! As nurse cant get to work in mornin because 14 is so bad
718 1803 Admirals Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1M5, Canada 14 bus every 10 mins all day. And needs extra drivers so it is not late. I need to get to work ! Automated buses it you cannot get drivers ! Or hire drivers! Ask me a 40 yo bus taker that does not drive where buses need. I cannot go places bevause of how bad buses are
718 365 Kislingbury Lane, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 5R2, Canada Cant get anywhere any time of day. Need buses bad! Every 10 mins from langford. One to broadmead and one downtown via admirals bridge and gorge. Must br every 10 or 15 mins not of this few times a day.
718 2833 Admirals Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9A 2R4, Canada Cant go anywhere other than 14 and try to transfer but cannot get easy to broadmead or dt because 95 or 14 to far away for disabled people or dont show up. The 14 historically doesn't show up (lies if you say it does lol) we take the bus and we know !
718 1291 Craigflower Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9A 2X9, Canada Cannot get to broadmead or to Hillside mall east and fast. Takes 40mins plus to yo downtown . Need more direct fast
717 1953 Sooke Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1W2, Canada Traffic slows
717 1836 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1J2, Canada This area is bad, too many feeders controlled by lights, lights not coordinated
717 369 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1H4, Canada Slowdown from here to Helmcken because that light is terribly timed and restricts too much old island highway traffic
717 301 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1G9, Canada Worst intersection on my commute. Causes so much slowdown with frequency of light allowing traffic off helmcken to slow old island
717 110 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1M5, Canada Light still horribly congested any time after 3pm, largely due to Helmcken light timing
716 29 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 5G5, Canada If you used the original design for this intersection instead ruining it to spite Saanich would be better. Give Eagle Creek a proper right turn lane like the original design that was constructed had by Westbrook Consulting.
715 319 Damon Drive, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 5G5, Canada There needs to be lighting added to this part of the trail to get to the bus stop at night. I take this part of the trail at night to cross at the new intersection at Atkins Rd and Island Hwy. I need to get to the bus stop on Island Hwy to catch a bus with my bike into Victoria for my night shift.
715 300 Six Mile Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1H7, Canada If lighting can’t be added to the Goose trail between Six Mile Rd and Atkins Starion then there needs to be cycling infrastructure along Six Mile Rd and onto Island Hwy to connect with the new bike lane added before the bus stop at Atkins and Island Hwy.
712 50 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 5G8, Canada weird long lights, lots of cars, unprotected bike paths on the bridge
712 1650 Burnside Road West, Victoria, British Columbia V9E 2E2, Canada No bike lane
711 430 Six Mile Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 0P2, Canada Stop sign instead of yield
711 Trans-Canada Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 0S9, Canada More warning signs to slow down coming off the highway
711 490 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1H5, Canada Is this wide enough for another roundabouts?
711 95 Talcott Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 6L7, Canada Very unsafe going west on a bike, hard to see traffic coming on the left

708 1640 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1H8, Canada missing sidewalk/bicycle lane
708 481 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1H7, Canada Very dangerous intersection with left turn yields. Right hand turns on red light. This intersection is far too busy to allow possible interactions with vehicles. A as almost daily walker along this corridor, I strongly recommend the implementation of no right turns on red
708 339 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1G9, Canada Missing sidewalk
706 300 Six Mile Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1H7, Canada start
706 800 Viewfield Road, Esquimalt, British Columbia V9A 4V1, Canada End for one person
706 609 Agnes Street, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 2E7, Canada End for another person
705 211 Stormont Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1P7, Canada Can be a difficult road crossing with kids
705 224 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1G2, Canada Pedestrian light signal takes way way too long.
705 1500d Admirals Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9A 4K2, Canada Awkward intersection for cycling
704 287 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1G6, Canada Random lack of bike lane on Island Hwy in this one section is dangerous
704 211 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1S5, Canada Bike path dead end. Sign says to dismount but this should be improved to better connect to the school and View Royal Park
704 1520 Admirals Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1M5, Canada Honestly this entire intersection is a mess. All roads leading to and away are one lane and yet the intersection expands requiring so much merging. The bike crossing is dangerous and the Island Hwy bike lane is uncomfortably in the middle of the road by Canadian Tire. The turn to the bridge by bike is dangerous given car speeds and the merging
704 102 Atkins Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 2Z8, Canada This crossing should be a stop for cars rather than bikes/pedestrians needing to push the crosswalk button
704 260 Stormont Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1G4, Canada This light takes a very long time to change when the pedestrian crossing button is pushed. I understand making turning cars wait but the pedestrian control should be much quicker
704 45 View Royal Avenue, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1A6, Canada There are times when the pedestrian crossing seems to need to wait for the intersection to cycle through. But this is infrequent as there is not always cars turning onto Island Hwy. Should be fixed to just change when the pedestrian button is pushed.
702 Trans-Canada Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 1R7, Canada Unsafe crosswalk - would like to see a button activated light to alert cars
702 Watkiss Way, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 6C9, Canada No sidewalk from Erksine to Eagle Creek shopping centre along Watkiss Way - pedestrians have to walk on the shoulder of a busy street
702 3 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 5G5, Canada Area of high traffic congestion, with new residential buildings under construction. How do we mitigate traffic from those travelling through our community in this area with increasing the population in that area
701 1454 Craigflower Road, Esquimalt, British Columbia V9A 2Y8, Canada walking and cycling near here. The cycling trail ends after the gorge bridge. Let's continue that link
701 101 Glentana Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9A 4J9, Canada Have to cross awkwardly as a cyclist here. Dangerous when dark.
700 2 Watkiss Way, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 0E6, Canada There needs to be two southbound through lanes on Helmcken at Watkiss Way. The current configuration causes unnecessary congestion at Burnside/Helmcken and beyond. If excessive traffic south of Hwy 1 is a concern then it should be dealt with via traffic calming (speed humps, narrowings etc in that neighbourhood or close Helmcken south of Hwy 1 and require access to that area to be via Island Hwy.
697 302 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1G8, Canada This are is always heavily congested from 3-6pm, probably because of traffic from the navy base. There needs to be more major arteries into and out of Victoria and Esquimalt. If TCH has an accident, commute an take hours.
697 1552 Trans-Canada Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 5G1, Canada Adding a dedicated bus lane makes no sense when there are no bus stops on most of the TCH. A better plan would be to add the lanes for everyone’s use and open 4-5 into Victoria in the morning and at noon, switch to 4-5 lanes outbound. Lane usage is easily controlled by lights over the center lanes. As things are, all that will be achieved is to shift the bottleneck to the next lights at Tillicum.
696 Trans-Canada Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1M4, Canada Grade separated bike lanes
696 119 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1M4, Canada Straight through (on ramp to off ramp) should be limited to buses only
695 94 Atkins Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 2Z8, Canada Better signage and lighting at the crossing
695 Trans-Canada Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 6J7, Canada It’s too narrow with the construction going on.
694 1454 Craigflower Road, Esquimalt, British Columbia V9A 2Y8, Canada This intersection is extremely backed up most of the afternoon, and is not designed well for pedestrians or bikes
691 1508 Glentana Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9A 7A1, Canada Home approximately.
691 1497 Admirals Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9A 7K2, Canada Usually is fine but people speed, especially along Aldersmith or people turning from Admirals onto Aldersmith. Neither pay attention to pedestrians or stop signs.
691 1803 Admirals Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1M5, Canada Drivers speed and ignore pedestrians and amber lights, often resulting in a car blocking a crosswalk if not the whole intersection. Drivers heading south from Old Island and turning right on Admirals are especially bad.
691 167 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1G1, Canada This stretch of road is bad for pedestrians if you need to cross from one side to the other. It's improved north of the 4 Mile recently but from Admirals to View Royal Ave. the only other crossing is a pedestrian overpass in the middle.
691 2 Watkiss Way, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 0E6, Canada The bus stop heading into the city requires someone leaving Eagle Creek Village to cross multiple lanes of traffic or risk missing their bus by using the crosswalk at the light.
691 300 Six Mile Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1H5, Canada The hill on Six Mile blocks drivers' view of the light and reduces reaction time.
691 302 Six Mile Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 5G6, Canada Drivers speed out of the gas station to get in a lane to turn left not always watching where they're going or caring that they block the road.
691 101 Nursery Hill Drive, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 0P2, Canada Not many drivers stop or look for pedestrians.
691 4 Cooper Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9A 4K2, Canada People block it along Admirals. Drivers do not look for pedestrians or cars entering from Aldersmith or Cooper.
691 1517 Admirals Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9A 2P8, Canada Where the crosswalk is makes it hard for drivers to see pedestrians and vice versa.
691 2974 Admirals Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9A 2R6, Canada Entering or leaving any of the side streets along this stretch of road can be difficult and/or hold up traffic depending on the time of day. Commuters also block side streets.

689 110 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1M5, Canada from 1430 to 1730 this is a nightmare turning left from Admirals to Old Island Hwy.
688 1271 Burnside Road West, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 5E1, Canada evening rush hour congestion
688 38 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 5G7, Canada Left turners from Watkis onto Helmcken don't watch for pedestrians and through traffic from Chancellor. Turning left off Chancellor towards the highway is difficult during periods of high traffic as you can't see the oncoming vehicles who intend to turn right on Helmcken into the shared lane.
688 127 Cheltenham Street, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 5E6, Canada e-scooter and e-bike traffic which exceed the 500w motors and 32km unassisted speed don't warn, yield or give space to other trail users. I've been nearly hit on a weekly basis as a walker, runner and fellow cyclist.
688 325 Glenairlie Drive, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1K5, Canada e-scooter and e-bike traffic which exceed the 500w motors and 32km unassisted speed don't warn, yield or give space to other trail users. I've been nearly hit on a weekly basis as a walker, runner and fellow cyclist
688 Mckenzie Avenue, Victoria, British Columbia V8N 1A7, Canada The flow of traffic along McKenzie to the highway would be more efficient if both lanes flowed into the exit lane. Then the right lane wouldn't backup as far with less last minute mergers. Less vehicles would flow up Burnside as entry to the highway would be easier. Vehicles crossing the highway would need to move left after getting through the light at Burnside
688 21 Camden Avenue, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 1P6, Canada The sidewalk is only from St Giles up Camden to the bike trail. Many pedestrians with dogs walk from Conard down to the bike trail, walking in the middle of the road. With cars parked on both sides, there is no ability to safely pass the vehicles. A sidewalk for this section would make it much safer.
687 102 Atkins Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 2Z8, Canada Cars should have a stop sign here. Intersection should be raised.
687 393 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1H3, Canada Needs a pedestrian overpass.
687 393 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1H3, Canada Needs protected bike lanes.
687 494 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1H5, Canada Needs expanded protected bicycle and pedestrian paths on both sides of bridge.
687 95 Talcott Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 6L7, Canada Road side parked vehicles block visibility, needs raised crossing and speed bumps. vehicle traffic should have a stop sign.
687 50 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 5G8, Canada Needs raised crossing, stop sign for cars, crossing light.
687 2 Watkiss Way, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 0E6, Canada Should have a dutch style protected intersection here.
687 5 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 5G5, Canada Extremely dangerous for cyclists and pedestrians. I was hit by a car a month ago here on my bicycle. Construction should not mean bike lanes just disappear. Needs protected bike lanes and sidewalks.
687 26 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 5G7, Canada Dangerous because vehicles inch out and sit on bike lane and crossing blocking them.
687 1520 Admirals Road, Esquimalt, British Columbia V9A 2Y8, Canada Needs a dutch style protected intersection.
687 Trans-Canada Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 6J7, Canada Needs a proper AAA multiuse path connecting View Royal and Langford.
686 4 Watkiss Way, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 5G5, Canada Crossing the road the winds up to quality food sucks because ppl drive too fast considering you can see around the corner and somebody will get hit there one day
685 1a Price Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1V4, Canada Cars enter the bus lane before Price Rd in order to exit to the old island hwy. Makes exiting Price Rd much more dangerous than it used to be.
685 104 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1M5, Canada People try to pass in the right hand turn lane down shoreline drive. This should be a right hand only turn lane (except for buses needing an egress to the bus stop)
683 30 Atkins Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 5G5, Canada Along the goose / EN people with Ebikes going ~40km/hr without lights or bells to notify people
682 1520 Admirals Road, Esquimalt, British Columbia V9A 2Y8, Canada Unsafe merging by both bikes and cars at this intersection. Not as easy for bikes to change direction at lights.
680 125 Atkins Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 6V4, Canada Horrific congestion every morning
680 314 Six Mile Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 5G5, Canada Congestion every morning
680 414 Six Mile Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 0P2, Canada So many people live in this area and the only bus that comes through is the 53. It only goes downtown once in the morning, and once back in the evening, and the bus is overloaded with people. Need more busses coming through here and going to different areas.
678 2 Watkiss Way, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 0E6, Canada This is a very dangerous crossing for pedestrians. Cars are continuously making left turns from Watkiss to Helmcken when pedestrians are still in the cross walk. Someone is going to get killed here.
675 8 Erskine Lane, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 6J7, Canada Taking away parking impacted having friends visit and notice not many cyclists use this area
674 490 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1H5, Canada The new light is long especially when trying to reach the bus stop. Ideally, this light would operate in the same way as the traffic light near the Juan De Fuca Library.
673 38 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 5G7, Canada This bump out which eliminates the 2nd lane when you come through intersection is slowing and impeding traffic to keep moving
671 251 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1S8, Canada The right turn lane from Island Hwy to Northbound Helmcken encourages cars to speed and is dangerous to cyclists and pedestrians
669 26 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 5G7, Canada Bike lane can be dangerous as cars turning right into Eagle Creek do not check for bikes.
669 16 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 5G7, Canada Traffic calming measures needed on Helmcken Road north of highway one.
668 Watkiss Way, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 6C9, Canada This crosswalk is not safe. Why not add a pedestrian island half way across and narrow the lanes. This would calm traffic and make them slow down instead of ripping up the hill.
668 Watkiss Way, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 6C9, Canada This hill could use a separated bike lane going up the hill. Lots of cyclists go up this hill and there is no safe lane for them. Cars have to go into oncoming traffic to get up the hill.
668 1950 Watkiss Way, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 0V6, Canada Why not put a separated bike between the galloping goose all the way to the elementary school. Kids could safely ride to school. It would eliminate a lot of the school drop off congestion. Kids would learn healthy habits.
668 211 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1S5, Canada Why not add a better bike path from the E&N to the school. Kids would be able to safely ride to school.
668 38 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 5G7, Canada This intersection is a nightmare for cyclists. Coming from the galloping goose and then trying to get into the eagle creek complex is a bit scary.
668 414 Six Mile Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 0P2, Canada Would like to see separated bike lanes from the galloping goose to Thetis lake. This would give people an alternative to driving to get to the lake. The lake parking lot is very congested in the summer.
666 48 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 5G8, Canada Peddling from Quality Foods south on Helmcken across the TCH is impossible.
666 94 Atkins Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 2Z8, Canada Goose crossing here is quit dangerous.
666 211 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1S5, Canada Needs to be a sign here forbidding cars to pass bicycles in the traffic circle or even before the circle. Same with all the traffic circles.
666 5 Avanti Place, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 5E2, Canada Needs sign on road the crosses the Goose here that bicycles have the absolute right of way.
666 119 Helmcken Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1M2, Canada rh entry lane to TCH needs sign that all entering cars must yield to bicycles proceeding straight ahead on Helmcken.
666 360 Atkins Avenue, Langford, British Columbia V9B 2Z8, Canada Atkins Ave should have a stop sign at this crossing of the Goose
666 324 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1H2, Canada This push button light is a good way for bikes to cross the Island Hwy but it would be better for bikes on Burnett not to have to ride the side walk and make the push button at the Burnett intersection.
666 110 Island Highway, Victoria, British Columbia V9B 1M5, Canada Very high danger using that green bike lane to ride between two lanes of moving cars.
666 1511 Admirals Road, Victoria, British Columbia V9A 7M8, Canada This whole length of Admiral's needs bike lanes on both sides. Gets especially scary riding south in front of Admiral's Walk.
