This is the same problem that technology always brings.
The "you could do it before but required alot of work and now the technology makes it so anyone can do it" problem.
Google made this famous by allowing anyone to learn more than people wanted other to know about themselves.
The information was all there before google but google made it easy for anyone to collect with little effort.
To the home owners point, I do find myself doing this alot with waze in Toronto. Instead of taking Gardener or Front Street, waze sends me through the CNE grounds on streets that i didn't even now existed. I could have probably done this before waze but the technology made it easy for anyone to do.
It seems like the solution is the do what they've always done, improve core infrastructure arteries and put up speed bumps, slower speed limits and more stop signs to help deter people from moving through residential neighbourhoods.
- mauricemir 12y agospeed bumps sound ok until: A some one looses a $3k exhaust system on a sports car to them B Someone dies because of slow ambulance response - Emergency vehicle crews hate speed bumps
- kinghajj 12y agoThe speed bumps around my old neighborhood have a dip in the median exactly so that ambulances can avoid the bump completely. I was told that it's also a safety concern, as sudden shocks when carrying, say, someone with a spinal injury could actually be life-threatening. (Un)fortunately, it's also perfectly possible for ordinary cars to use the dip, too, and thus not have to slow down really at all.
