Enforcement was for the traffic cameras? Literally every municipality I looked at had a page on their website discussing it. Every one had the fines go first to operation/maintenance of the fine system, then to a road reconstruction fund to further reduce speeding.
Well the government's job to care for everyone and the point is safety. Punishment is meant to fit the offence/crime. Suspensions and bans are always on the table.
I wish they'd put the same enforcement on people not using blinkers and running red lights to make left turns as they did prople going 15k over limits down straight roads with little traffic around...
Running reds seems like a great job for cameras.
Blinkers are difficult because its so fast and is best seen from within traffic. Even if you had a person sitting there doing a sting it would be difficult to catch.
Many municipal transit systems all full of cameras pointed at the passengers. I think those would be better utilized pointing out at traffic.
Yes, red light cameras are a good use for cameras.
Blinkers are difficult, but that doesn't mean they should be ignored. Just put a cop at an intersection, it wouldn't be hard at all to catch people not using them. Hell, a cop could have their entire month quota of tickets done I a day of they just sat at an intersection.
