Bike lanes, variable speed limits, speed safety cameras, appropriate speed limits for all road users, and road diets

our traffic fatalities by 100,000 inhabitants far exceeds that of many industrialized countries and puts the U.S. in the company of Chile and Costa Rica

    The same logic applies to cops enforcing the speed limit, some cities will put them in a speed trap to collect revenue, that doesn’t mean all cops enforcing speed limits are a scam for revenue or that we shouldn’t use them.

    Yes. I didn’t say all X that enforce speed limits are scams. In fact, I said both things can be true.

    I agree that speed cams are better than more cops.

    That doesn’t change the fact that some jurisdictions will use them not to improve safety, but for income generation.
