Automated Traffic Enforcement Is More Popular Than You Think Cameras that ticket drivers who run red lights and speed are effective and widely popular with city residents. So why are they banned in so many places?

The @bloomberg.com story I mentioned in conversation with @wesmars.bsky.social:

"The opposition to traffic cameras is real — but it seems to come from politicians more than the general public. Beyond being effective, automatic cameras are remarkably popular."

My bad. Thank you for the correction!

This is a typical "but Sweden" article. The contents of the video only express aspiration and not the reality on the ground, which is patchy and, in the case of Stockholm, is frequently chaotic during snow falls.

Why are we still designing fish bowls & green houses?
I am all for ADA-compliant design & wider platforms, but this glass-on-steroids structure is both expensive to build & to clean/maintain.
