    I don’t agree that its possible to make everyone feel personally at risk when speeding.

    If people want to be around other people then social accountability is required. Whether you want to call it punishment or not, we have to have ways to signal to each other what we find okay and what we don’t. I dont agree with deceptive setups designed to maximize income for a city, so I do agree with most of what you are saying, I just think ultimately punishment needs to be there for some people.

      You can make it so reasonable drivers feel the safe speed to drive is the speed you want them driving.

      Ultimately speed cameras are surveillance for civil infractions, which I disapprove of, and they’re popular because they can function as revenue generation.

      I don’t disapprove of punishment for those engaging in reckless driving, but I’ve seen so many places where speed limits and fines are treated as the end all be all of traffic enforcement rather than the final step.
