The R.C.M.P. probably isn't going to want to spend time controlling speeding vehicles on Vancouver Avenue but a speed bump (or "sleeping policeman") would. The city should have a plan to install speed bumps on residential streets like Vancouver Avenue throughout Nanaimo to encourage impatient motorists to use faster routes like Stewart Avenue and Terminal instead. This is only a problem at the south end of Vancouver Avenue as stop signs slow the cars down north of Townsite.
