Research consistently shows that the reliability of speed safety cameras compels drivers to slow down. In comparison, police-based enforcement is spotty and biased. NHTSA awards the tactic 5 stars, declaring it has been “demonstrated to be effective by several high-quality evaluations.”
New report: SF drivers slowed down around cameras
Pilot program’s first year a success, transportation officials said.

A story of cause and effect: Last November, Ontario banned cities from using speed safety cameras to issue tickets. Reckless speeding immediately surged in Toronto, Ottawa, Guelph, and cities throughout the province. A 🧵 about my latest in Bloomberg (gift link)
What Happens When Speed Cameras Get Shut Off

Cracked and broken sidewalks that take years to repair are a symptom of a city that is not meeting its core infrastructure needs. This is why I continue to vote against austerity budgets. We need to do better — for dogs and humans alike.

I’ve always liked how the mountains, forest, and reflections seem to share the same space in this painting. Even though everything is still, there’s a feeling that the landscape is quietly alive. #206 "Emerald Reflection" Hand Painted by Jeff Dillon, 24" x 30" #MountainLandscape #CanadianLandscape
Why on earth is #Canada a signatory to a UN treaty of cybercrime put forward by Russia (the largest source of state sponsored cybercrime) and China? It’s badly named and is really an information sharing treaty that could put Canadians at risk for extra-territorial despotic activities. #cdnpoli
