The science on speeding was settled a while back. The vast majority of traffic accidents are not caused by "speeding" but by vehicles who's speed varies from the norm -- faster or slower.

It's all about budgets.

I have a brother who is a long term cop on his way to chief. We talk all the time and I hang out often on dive trips with all his cop buddies. Not sure however why you think stating you have a highway patrol to watch the interstates makes me a expert but thanks for the credit! My brother was given the job of researching camera systems. He gave them a big thumbs down!

Man, that's the truth! Especially in bankrupt California.

Are you transitioning back to being a douche? If the guy wants to talk about traffic control, let him talk about traffic control.

We're all experts. On everything. We're pilots, for chrissakes.

Having just driven to and from Atlanta it's a sore spot with me. I did not get a ticket but sat in two police induced traffic jams!

You found the link on an airline pilot website. Related.

Try taking your kid to a monster truck show at the GA Dome and then attempting to leave at the same time the boat show lets out at GWCC and some multi-band Christian rock concert lets out at Phillips Arena. Semi-manageable until APD turns off the lights so they can "more efficiently direct traffic". Sat in the blue lot trying to leave for over an hour while we watched three accidents at the intersection because the two APD officers manning the intersection were giving conflicting hand signals.

There's a reason we don't go downtown much....
