Replying to: fintail (May 11, 2009 10:03 am) Could be that the city/township/county/state you live in is most incompetent in the whole of US. I rarely see questionable signs in my area of State nor other parts of State or nearby States I frequent. Maybe a local group motivated drivers (on the left coast) of like mind, say Drivers Against Photo Radar and Stupid Signs (DAPRSS), could start a movement to make their case and bring reform they desire.

Replying to: xrunner2 (May 11, 2009 10:14 am)  I am sure my area is no less competent than any other, but the sector of the working world allowed to oversee traffic control is less competent than most. Real change isn't created by mere elections...never has been, never will be.

Replying to: fintail (May 11, 2009 10:30 am) That would be a respectful attitude. Oughta consider it. I guess I was raised to respect authority.

Replying to: vcheng (May 11, 2009 9:57 am) And just think of the unintended consequences. Well, you can't think of them, but you get my drift.  Trust but verify. Respect but question. I think I'm channeling the old bumper sticker discussion that got lost in the archives years ago.

Replying to: steve_ (May 11, 2009 10:55 am) That you for the very well worded post Steve_Host. One of the thoughts that comes to mind is whether some of the consequences that at least you and I can foresee are indeed intentional, and just hiding behind a grab of safety or some other ruse to make them acceptable. The future is going to be interesting indeed!
