I get it. Camera's are the only thing that slow people down (even if it's a brief one block brake check). [b]There's zero actual police patrolling.[/b][/quote]

Therein lies the problem.  [/quote]

No the problem is we have the technology to monitor and fine speeders but we do not.[/quote]

No the problem is municipalities trying to speed-camera their way to safety. If you want safety, you need human law enforcement. But that’s apparently racist so we can’t do that.

Look at DC. The city increases the number of speed/red light/stop sign cameras on an annual basis, but the number of pedestrian deaths is constant year over year. The cameras do nothing.[/quote]

+1. Part of that human enforcement is that we need education campaigns about how to safely cross the street, and police should stop people who are jaywalking carelessly (not to necessarily ticket them, but to educate them). Also, crosswalks that are on high-speed roads but not at traffic lights should be eliminated, or if a mid-block crosswalk is really necessary, a traffic light should be installed specifically for it.[/quote]
