[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is about to get a lot less car friendly.  Bowser has already started the process to install speed cameras throughout the city.  We have less than a year to dial it back.[/quote]

Not sure "enforcing the speed limit" means "a lot less car friendly." If you don't speed by more than 5 mph, you won't get a ticket. [/quote]

Oh please.  Not a single one of us drives below 25 mph at all times.  So save that holier than thou bs.  Speed cameras are a nuisance that don't make traffic better.  In fact they make it more dangerous because people slam on the brakes right before approaching one.  This isn't about safety.  It's about revenue and treating the citizenry as a resource to be plundered.  It's a solution in search of a problem.[/quote]

You don't even have to drive under 25. Just drive under 35 and you don't get a ticket in a 25mph zone. I have zero sympathy for you.

Not sure what sympathy has to do with this.  I am just as adept at not getting a ticket as everyone else.  I'm also not a speed demon.  I'm a normal regular citizen that thinks mass speed cameras, what is being proposed by Bowser, are a bad idea that do nothing to make streets safer while exponentially increasing government harrassment of regular citizens.  It says a lot that you are trying to slander me instead of providing a substantive reason why widespread speed cameras would be a good public policy choice.[/quote]

Well I'd prefer to have structural changes, like narrowing roads, removing lanes, building hard barriers, and things like that to slow people down.  You good with that instead?[/quote]
