Plan for some traffic near Ladysmith and Duncan, and keep snacks or water handy before the quiet stretch over the Malahat. Short breaks will help you stay sharp on the winding climb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"road-conditions\"><strong>How are the road conditions between Nanaimo and Victoria?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Highway 1 is fully paved and maintained year-round, with steady traffic between major towns. The Malahat section adds curves, grade changes, and quick shifts in visibility. Check local updates before heading out, especially after heavy rain or early-morning fog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"best-time-of-year\"><strong>What is the best time of year to drive from Nanaimo to Victoria, BC?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Summer offers long daylight hours and warm weather, but most attractions see more visitors. Autumn is also great if you want <a href=\"https:\/\/turo.com\/blog\/canada\/wayfaring\/best-canadian-scenic-drives-for-fall-colours\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">beautiful fall colours<\/a> and don&#8217;t mind the cooler weather.
