EDIT: since apparently a bunch of people woke up with the wrong foot this morning or forgot to check the group they’re in:

This is a joke. Do not steal or vandalize speed enforcement cameras (or anything else for that matter). That’s against the law and you will likely get arrested.

If you’re addicted to crack or any other drugs, please seek professional help.

    The speed limit needs to be indicated in order to be valid so that’s a completely ridiculous point you’re trying to make.

    If people don’t pay attention to their driving they need to be penalized for it because no matter the road design, they’ll commit infractions and no matter the road design, speed limits need to be enforced otherwise they become suggestions.

    See another of my comments with sources proving that speed cameras do reduce speeding by a wide margin, proving that drivers pay enough attention to their speed that when they fear they might be penalized for speeding, they slow down.

      And putting up signs and cameras literally only does so much to convince people to slow down on wide, straight roads. How likely is the average driver in your area to speed? I can assure you, half of the road users are worse than that.

      If we’re going to start pointing to other discussions, make it as easy to find your point as you can. Case in point, what I’m talking about.

        “How likely is it that drivers are speeding?”

        Much more likely if there’s nothing to punish them for doing so.

        Not Just Bikes isn’t the fucking second coming off Christ, you need to push your reflection a bit farther than his message.

        You never replied to the “Ok, but what about between now and when all the roads have been redesigned?” part, weird right? That’s decades and trillions of dollars you’re saying we should spend to reach a solution, so, what happens in the meantime?

        What’s your REALISTIC solution that works NOW and can be QUICKLY applied EVERYWHERE?
