[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone who lives on a corner where people constantly blow through the stop sign, I think the argument "images show the brake lights were on" is idiotic.  Plenty of people slow down at stop signs (brake lights!) without stopping.  It's not a slow down sign.

Make a complete stop, behind the line.  If that seems outrageously onerous to you, you're a bad driver.  These stop signs are in residential neighborhoods and I don't care that you're in a hurry.[/quote]

I don’t care that you choose to live in a city on a busy road. So there’s that. It’s onerous and a money grab. [/quote]

Well then go fishtailing in your boring suburb. We don't want your road rage here.

Also, I'd rather have DC raise fines on crazy speeders so that ordinary residents don't have to pay as much in taxes. Seems like an excellent tradeoff :lol:  :lol:  :lol: [/quote]
DP but if your goal is to prevent traffic on your busy street in the city, it sounds like the suburbs may actually be the environment you are looking for?

Serious question. [/quote]

You got it backwards. City dwellers like me want to live in a vibrant and walkable urban environment. It is your out-of-state suburban road rage that doesn't belong here. Just stay in your boring suburban hell hole and race around there.[/quote]
Sounds like you would really prefer King Farm. It’s a great neighborhood. Very walkable with a nice and vibrant commercial district. But it’s also very quiet and peaceful as well.

Sure that also looks nice if that's all you can afford.

But whether it's King Farm or a historic neighborhood in DC, those are not the place for idiots like you to take out your road rage.  :roll:  [/quote]
Life is about trade offs. If you choose to live in a vibrant city, the last thing you should expect is peace and quiet. Sounds like a bit of NIMBYism going on here. [/quote]

Um, all PP was asking was for people to stop at stop signs. Believe it or not, dangerous traffic is not a requirement for a city. [/quote]
