[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They massively increased the amount of cameras during the pandemic. What you're seeing is the implementation lag.

Most of the recent bad decisions happened in 2022 when people weren't paying attention.  That's why congestion is so much worse now then it was in 2019.

There was also an old lady who swallowed a fly situation after they curtailed MPD.

It could have been even worse.  [b]Some of the extremists wanted to shrink every road plus putting cameras and speed bumps on every block[/b].  [/quote]

There absolutely should be cameras on every block.

The one valid criticism that can be levelled at DC's cameras is that they are a few and far between and thereby only function to slow vehicles down in various spots for a few seconds, while doing nothing to slow drivers down everywhere else in the city.

If there were cameras on every block, scofflaw drivers would actually have to face consequences for not flagrantly disobeying the law. There are few measures that would make DC's streets safer.[/quote]
