Going south on the corridor I notice almost half the drivers on their cell phones. They must figure the slower speed and straight stretch makes it OK.

Not surprising, the corridor is full of a-holes tailgating and going 70mph. The chp could be making a killing on tickets, almost everyone is speeding while texting/talking with headlights off. 3 tickets right there. This class entering hsu are jerks, the bad driving has gone up a bunch since hsu started&can see their hsu parking permits. Am about to start carrying eggs to throw at tailgaters. Old arcata road/myrtle has double the traffic since hsu started and same thing, a-holes passing on two lane road doing 60-70mph. I honestly wouldn’t stop if saw em wrapped around a tree, darwin awards. Better them than my kids or pets.

safety zone was better when it was 65, now it has passive aggressive types that ride side by side going 50…..
the safety zone would be safer if the bike lane was ripped out and a third lane added.
this is all that old man’s fault for pulling out and getting nailed, it started the slow down. There were less accidents and side by side drivers when it was 65. Raising it to 80 would be better for everyone.

For a modest 5% I will take a PD sealed videocamera or two or three out there and photograph drivers…then take the camera back to the PD where they can make a copy, then I will go thru the copy and detail the many violations I see with license numbers and suggested violations…that all sorted and packaged then turn that over to the DA for prosecution…and court appearances if necessary.

5% of any fines produced isn’t too greedy is it?

cell phone use, tailgating, speeding, seat belts….seems like easy money for me and the county and a safer roadway eventually….

while no one expects the Spanish Inquisition, being photographed in public by govt agencies or their representatives and contractors while operating a vehicle would not seem to be a privacy issue whatsoever.

It’s a jobs program…it’s a witness program protecting the public.

Imma public, you’re a public…besides the county needs the money, we need safer streets, and maybe the proceeds could help pay the DAs office for the extra court staff and asst DAs necessary here.

If it pays, individuals could be licensed: got a favorite crosswalk your kids almost get crushed in every day?…sign up, be screened, sign out a camera and deploy.

Boom!

Lower it.

they should just develop a chip that can be inserted into the brain that detects when someone does something wrong and uploads it to a server in which the crimes are sorted and charged to their bank account
