Butterbee (She/Her) ( @Butterbee@beehaw.org ) English14•8 months agoI would love to see them implement something like they tried in Montreal for school zones. They have speed cameras set up and if they detect a speeder instead of issuing a ticket that the driver will receive later the camera just triggers the stop light to turn red in time to catch the speeder. It literally just slows the speeding traffic down and can’t possibly be taken as a “cash grab” like most speed cameras are.
Victor Villas ( @villasv@beehaw.org ) 4•8 months agoCan’t see why not both: effectively slows speeding traffic down and cash grab and spend that money on more traffic calming.

SkepticalButOpenMinded ( @SkepticalButOpenMinded@lemmy.ca ) 5•8 months agoIt’s amazing how much Christine Boyle alone gets done, all while having to fight frivolous lawsuits from Ken Sim. I really hope she runs for mayor and the left consolidates around her.
m0darn ( @m0darn@lemmy.ca ) 1•8 months agoI didn’t know we had speed cameras. Is it like an enhanced red light camera where it’s triggered by a red light violation but they can receive a showing ticket as well? Or are the speed thresholds very high?
