Anyways it’s a huge waste of money and there’s a much better solution as the Mexicans figured out being short of money and high on ingenuity and that’s Topes (aka) speed bumps. Those are placed near pedestrian crossings and on highways at villages. Traffic has to slow almost to a halt lest one wishes to leave an axle behind. It has a marvellous calming effect and gives pedestrians a fighting chance.
I agree speed bumps could be used more, especially at stop signs. I was just in Bogota over the holidays and they have installed pedestrian over passes all over the city, brilliant idea to keep the cars and people apart.

Speed humps are not the answer in this part of the world. the ploughs would pluck the humps out in an instant, transit routes should not have them and neither high volume roads/streets. Speed humps are band-aids. The road needs to be properly designed for the posted speed limit (on street parking is a great way to slow traffic down). All-way stops are not an effective way of slowing traffic down as cars will speed up between the stop signs and bring the average speed up more than without the all-way stops. Dropping the speed limit on a street that wasn't designed for it just turns law obeying citizens into criminals. The police, in the neck of the woods, refuses to enforce the Council directed 30km/h school zones as they feel it is a stupids move made by politicians that went against the recommendations of city hall professionals. Also, the perception of people speeding is usually attributed to the noise of the vehicle. Time and time again data was collected when residents were complaining of speeding and showed that the 85th percentile speed was at or near the speed limit (less than 5km/h over). 85th percentile speed is where 85 percent of the traffic travels at or below that. The real solution would be to force parents not to drive "little johnny" to and from school.
700 locations could get cameras .
Fines could range from $21 for going one km/h over the posted speed limit to $1,105-plus for 50 km/h or more.
Looks like they may be no grace of say +5 kph
Not stiff enough. I prefer the permanent confiscation of the vehicle, much like they do in a particular country in Europe when at the second level of DUI. No effing around there.
Guy had a fender bender in a traffic circle. Nabbed for being well above the second level of DUI. Lost his car permanently. Who knows if he had payments on it or not; his tough luck. Three months later, he committed suicide. Perfect! One less drunk on the road.
Once you live a little and come across good people in tough times, or go from good times to tough times yourself, perhaps you will feel differently about that.
i don’t disagree about stiff penalties. I don’t think we should celebrate the deaths of people who are obviously facing challenges.

Yeah it is always someone else's fault. What challenge was he facing?
I remember this case and another whose licence was suspended some 14+ times till the ahole killed a senator and both kids. Some people just can't figure it out.
something seems very wrong with due process....
I think I have been wronged and I have the right to go to court and plead my case, but I wont because I cant afford the financial penalty if I lose ? I would think the supreme court of Canada might have something to say about that. Only the financially affluent can afford to go through due process ??
