The point is to reduce speeding everywhere, not just in a few places that have cameras. What a joke.

- monkpit 9y agoWe haven’t heard your solution to the problem yet...
- maccard 9y agoNot OP but limit cars sold in a country to whatever the speed on the freeway is. e.g. in the UK, all cars registered here must have limiters fitted to stop it exceeding 70mph.
- dannyw 9y agoThis will result in lives lost when people can’t overtake.
- QasimK 9y agoThis would prevent speeding (but stop overtaking) on motorways, which I argue are the roads that need the least speed control. Speeding is probably more harmful on all other roads where you have pedestrians, cyclists and complex road layouts.
- maccard 9y agoI agree, but if the goal is to simply stop speeding, it will stop it on motorways. Whether it has any safety benefits or not is incidental.
- moate 9y agoWell there's the problem. Why is that a goal. http://www.sehinc.com/news/truth-about-speed-limits-explained-engineer http://www.sehinc.com/news/truth-about-speed-limits-explaine...
- maccard 9y agoOh sorry - to be clear, I was being a little pedantic about he question the parent mentioned - what is his solution to stopping speeding. I agree that reducing Speed limits (particularly on motorways) isn’t the answer. There are other reasons for it however, eg Ireland [0] is attempting to reduce the speed for environmental reasons.

- rbadaro 9y agoAverage speed check zones. Multiple cameras that identify your car and ensure your average speed between point to point is not above the legal limit. Sure, you can go above the speed limit and then slow down, but it would be a pain to have to slow down, specially if you put cameras the entrance and exit of service stations in highways to discount breaks.
- kawfey 9y agoThis would be a crazy revenue boost for metro areas outside of rush hour, where interstates are typically 55mph zones, while the traffic collectively moves at 65-70mph; going any slower than the flow is dangerous, but it's a dilemma to risk a ticket or risk a rear-ender.
- int_handler 9y agoIf Waze's police and red light camera indications cause more people to comply the law while driving, isn't that already better than not having this feature at all?
