After more than 32,000 speeding tickets were handed out in just three weeks by new automated speed enforcement cameras in community safety zones, council in the City of Vaughan decided to pause the program.
Mayor Steven Del Duca put forward the motion last week to pause the tickets until September, when council is due to receive a report from staff on ways the city can create more effective signage about the presence of cameras.
But then we can’t just cut and paste the same lane design regardless if it is a school zone or a freeway.
Last year, I think it was on the War on Cars podcast, their guest was a disillusioned traffic engineer that called his entire field “a fraud discipline.” Like they put absolutely no critical thought into their designs as long as they are built to the exacting code.
Edit: Found it, it was an episode from a few years ago.
I was getting it mixed up with this other episode.
Love that podcast and I remeber them comparing the mentality they use for roads and how delusional it would be for just about any other engineering field to follow that mentality.
