No thanks, I'm good. You guys go ahead and ticket each other until you all go bankrupt. The rest of us will just stand right here and watch the whole stupidity unfold.

Traffic rules prevent deaths. Tickets are only handed out to assholes who disregard the safety of other people on the road. Measures like this make cities a better place to live in.

Speed cameras aren't enough. Schools need all the traffic calming they can get.

Bro, you do realize you're criticizing attempts to stop speeding in school zones on the basis of your own convenience, right? Like, can you not see how bad that looks? And on a shit post forum of all places, bro, wtf?

If you think you need temporary speed limits to keep children safe, you have streets that are fundamentally unsafe for everyone.

Traffic cameras exist to generate revenue for the police department.

They should be changing the code to ensure that streets are safe for everyone at all times, not just the few hours a day when there are likely to be children present.

While that's a better solution on paper, it's naive. Even if you change it 100% of the time, if you need these measures to make people comply now, you'll need them then, too. You can tell people whatever you want, but the fact is, they're going to put themselves first most of the time. The guy who fucked around and made himself late for work is always gonna prioritize getting there on time no matter what until that clearly represents further hardship.

no.

traffic calming devices use physics. a car cannot travel through a chicane above the maximum designed speed. bollards stop vehicles from endangering people by being solid.

you don't need humans to enforce the laws of physics, that's why traffic calming works.

Isn't 60% of USA riding SUVs? Physics point kinda moot.

heavier vehicles corner worse. traffic calming is more effective
