[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The contractor leasing the equipment is making $6.3 million over two years. https://legiscan.com/DC/text/PR25-0202/id/2808247[/quote] DC has a whole traffic camera industrial complex. It's like a cottage industry. [/quote] The number of tickets being issued is ridiculous considering how small DC is. But the contractors (and their shareholders) make money. The politicians collect revenue, not to mention campaign contributions from the contractors. DDOT has a reason for its huge budget. The War on Bikes loonies enjoy average drivers being carpet bombed with tickets that, probably in the vast majority of cases, no human cop would ever issue. [/quote] It’s voluntary.[/quote] They act like people are getting nabbed for 1 over. You have an 11mph buffer. That's almost a 50% increase over 25mph roads, and more than a 50% over 20mph roads.
