Speeders can kill on any roadway, especially in highly trafficked areas with cyclists and pedestrians. Why is it ok to ticket violators in other places but not in the city?

Agreed. So why is it okay not to cite traffic violators in the city?

but people speed and drive like morons all the time.

its the crack that has indirect effects on everyone - the crime that comes w/ that underground economy, people leaving and taking the tax base with them, etc. this is elementary urban sociology.....

keeping this as is (no speed cameras/radar) vs. crack usage? the latter has had a more profound effect on our whole society, the way we live, etc.!!!

Speeding is a contributing factor to 25,021 (out of 104,475 total) crashes and 415 fatalities (out of 1,129) in 2020. PennDOT estimates $25,000,000,000 in economic losses in 2020 due to traffic crashes.

So why is it okay not to pull over traffic violators in the city?

You`re either trolling or you`re less smart than I was giving you credit for.

You’re in favor of ticketing traffic violators, but not in the city. Why is that?
