There aren't enough law enforcement officers to police the dysfunction & endangerment of people running lights, & blocking the intersection

Anything that will help slow down the insane amount of speeding on the Parkway is a good thing.

Only if they are mobile so you can use them in problem area's until problem is solved not as permanent like above a stop light that is just Policing for Profit.

Speed is clearly a problem on the parkway and much of 97. I can't see how enforcing laws that protect public safety is too much government control.

Yes, put them up. The visitors and residents from the South and the North all think that they are a big fish in a small pond and drive like they do back where they came from. They drive like it is a video game and endanger everyone on the roads.

Sloppy driving, speeding and lack of traffic police to deture these actions to prevent accidents and possible injuries to those doing the right thing. It costs everyone in higher insurance rates in areas with more accidents.

We lived in Tucson, AZ. where they had these camera's & shortly taken out of service because the person driving the vehicle couldn't be without a doubt 100% identified. The plate # could be seen, but not the driver/owner. Cost Pima County residents millions of dollars. Waste of $. Fix the pot holes.

Absolutely NOT! That is like a privacy infringement, government over reach at best. Spying on citizens, imagine what that could start! So I say NO, NO and by the way(blank) NO!

It's not more "control" to enforce laws that already exist to protect public safety.

Well if people would drive at a safe speed, they wouldn't have to treat everyone like idiots.

When I lived in the city, I'd take the bus if I didn't have a car or it was unavailable. I'd do the same in this small town if there were any, but the local gov't doesn't want to put money into it. We need it badly. If you don't have a car or a ride, you are screwed! Espacially, when very hot/cold!

I live in NYC, which has an extensive public transportation system. I do not need a car and using public transportation is better for the environment.

I drive 30-40 mins to work which would be a 2 hour commute one way if I took public transportation.

I would if it was available. where I live in Austin Texas there is public transportation but it is a 30 minute drive to the nearest transit center and then most places take 2 or more hours transferring from bus to light rail to get to my destination. Or I can drive myself in about 45 minutes.

I live in the county and no buses available. I drive a car now, but in 3 months will turn 80 and want to stop driving. I will sell my car and pay people to take me to appts and vets etc. I have groceries and pet supplies delivered.

There are no buses in the country. If I lived in a big city, maybe I would.

Living in the country it's not an option. Sometimes ride the L in Chicago during family visits and we were on and off the subway in NYC last fall -- the only way to get around!

They send the trains through during the most inconvenient times. Between 645 and 8am, 11am and 1pm, and 430pm to 6pm. Busiest times of day for Reed Market.

I get stuck 2x a week with more housing on Reed/ 15th and 27th, it'll be worse! Build an overpass!

This crossing is a problem, often backing up traffic to 15th street roundabout, and will become a bigger problem with all of the new homes being built along Reed Market.
