[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There were 40 traffic deaths in DC in 2021. Here’s the breakdown of causes per the police: 10 — driver drunk or stoned 12 — driver speeding 3 — driver error 6 — pedestrian error 1 — bicycle error 1 — scooter/motorcycle/ATV error 5 — hit and run/unknown 2 — medical emergencies Cameras have zero impact on most of these deaths so don’t expect putting even more up to have much effect [/quote] Traffic cameras are not about safety. Theyre about plugging revenue shortfalls in the government’s budget caused by people abandoning downtown. You’re going to have to cover what used to be charged to people who owned office buildings.[/quote] They’re shifting the tax burden from wealthy office building owners to average drivers including poor people and using this goofy unworkable idea of charging on a sliding scale to try to hide that[/quote]
