hoping this catches on, pretty please CA…

i like the fact that the money can only go into maintaining the speed cameras or into making the road safer. those are both things desperately needed, especially in LA.

    What about all the other pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers who are on that road? Are they safer because now there are two drivers speeding instead of one? The benefits of reducing vehicle speeds on crash fatality and frequency are outlined in the article. It sounds like you’re saying that “breaking the speed limit without punishment” is a tool drivers need to have in their toolbox to drive safely, but right now we give them that tool and vehicles speeds are out of control and the traffic death statistics are unacceptable.
