Police have stepped up enforcement along a scenic stretch of waterfront real estate in Oak Bay, where officers say too many drivers are going 40 kilometres above the speed limit.

Oak Bay Police say Beach Drive, near the Victoria Golf Club and Newport Avenue, is one of the problem spots in the community for excessive speeding, which has been on the rise.

Police can also impound the driver’s vehicle at their own expense, starting with seven days for a first offence. The district doesn’t have any plans to introduce any road design changes on Beach Drive to naturally slow traffic, such as raised crosswalks. But the mayor says every time a roadway in the community is being reworked, the spot's environmental design is being reviewed and upgraded where possible.
