Fuck it, gotta go fast. It would go faster though if all the office workers just took a bus or train. As a service tech, the traffic caused by unneeded trips is maddening when It takes me 45min to go 10km.

"It highlights the bigger problem, such as the frustration that the motorists have," Lacroix said.

Frustrated that they can't speed??? Frustrated enough to commit a crime because they can't commit a different crime??? 🤔

Since it was installed in April 2022, the camera has issued over 65,000 tickets and more than $7 million in fines, according to Safe Parkside.

This highlights the bigger problem, such as the complete lack of care that motorists have. 🤭

Keep fining them. And catch the people or persons who are vandalizing the cameras so they can spend the rest of their life paying for the damages.

Instead of wasting money on speed cameras and reducing speeds, we should be aggressively ticketing distracted drivers and pedestrians, and people who struggle to reach the limit in the first place.

Ticketing people for going under the limit is not wise. The biggest issue is due to inclement weather. We don't want people driving faster than is safe for conditions due to fear of a ticket.

That's fair, but easy to do: don't have the cops issue tickets for driving slowly on days where there is inclimate weather.

I’m sure the city loves these cameras. Did you speed? Doesn’t matter, the camera says you did so pay up. Also these will ticket you for going even half a kilometer over, you can get a ticket for going 71 in a 70 where a human cop would just let that shit go

... Where a human cop would light you up, slowing down all the traffic around you to safer levels, and give you immediate feedback.

But no you'll just get the same ticket for 10 over 5 days in a row before you notice the camera, and then get 5 tickets in the mail a month later.
