这是对您最近的文章的回应“建造Work-Zone Safety: Will Critics Shutter Speed Cameras?“(新利luck9/26 p. 10) and, in the same issue, your editorial “更多,工作区摄像机不少。”

在使用速度摄像机的情况下,速度限制是人为的低,票门几乎没有高于速度限制。这旨在售票平均驾驶员以获取利润。忽略了,速度相机已被证明是显着的错误。读数出错了,停止了据称加速和错误地引用的汽车。所有速度定时设备和摄像机都具有可能发生的潜在错误,但可能不明显。

在华盛顿,D.C.,该区的数据表明,速度是坠毁的3.1%的速度,并且所有类型的摄像机在那里没有改善安全。这种失败并不罕见,并且在安装速度相机后,崩溃在全球范围内升起或保持稳定。

这种执法系统背后的所谓专家也要求红灯摄像头。在费城,相机进入后,崩溃增加,那么同样的人呼吁停止手臂相机,市政警察雷达等。所有这些设备都依赖于交通工程差和掠夺性执法。对安全司机的崩溃和门票是常态。

When you do the exact opposite of the proven best safety measures in work zones, you will cause crashes and ticket safe and speed-compliant drivers, too.

这是在工作区中需要完成的:

  1. Cease putting stop signs at the ends of acceleration ramps on interstates. It is sheer madness to pull out from a dead stop, especially for a tractor-trailer.
  2. Set speed limits to the 85th percentile free-flowing traffic speed. The absurdly low limits create unsafe rolling roadblock conditions.
  3. End the “conflicting-sign syndrome.” Why do some signs say one thing, and then 50 feet later, another says the opposite?
  4. 停止在汽车前走出走出来。这发生在我身上,我知道的人。
  5. Work only at night on interstates. Fewer people equals fewer crashes.
  6. Post signs when employing the zipper-merge concept, wherein drivers use two lanes until they reach the merge into a single lane. When signs aren’t used, I see people backed up miles before they need to, which gums stuff up, causing some people to dart into the open lane while others refuse to allow the merging. Result? Road rage. Try to keep two lanes open for projects, too.

And, finally, please contact your state representative, state senator and the governor to oppose camera enforcement and prevent it in Pennsylvania.
