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 road can have unnecessary curves that the sidewalks and bike lanes do not.

    There are other ways to slow vehicles as well such as chicanes that narrow the street at certain points such that only 1 vehicle can pass fit through it at once, raised crosswalks, etc. There are a lot of ways to design the street to force drivers to slow down and pay attention.

    Unfortunately, if drivers have room to speed then it comes at the expense of the well being and safety of everyone else (even other drivers).

    I agree that winding culdesacs suck btw, but a street grid doesn’t solve the problem if safety in front of a school. If designed poorly it can make it worse since long straight streets can easily be turned into drag strips of speeding vehicles. Street grids are fine and good, but they should not allow drivers to go faster than is compatible with a pleasant and safe environment for people outside of the vehicles.

          A. That isn’t what you were talking about about

          B. You can’t find it because it doesn’t exist

          C. Congrats, this shit road is going to delay emergency responses and will cause accidents when there is even a slight amount of ice

          People are going to die because of abominations like this, not like you care.
