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

Dieter Heinzer

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

Tim Collins

I just wish they would use them to send out Traffic Tickets!

Kevin Crabtree

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.

Les Adams

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.

Kenneth Emmrich

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.

Gabe West

Great idea!

Todd Miller

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.

Charles Baca

We need traffic cams at all lights. EVERYBODY IN THIS TOWN RUNS RED LIGHTS!!!! It

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.

Rick Allen

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!

Jim Hipp

Enough government control!

Les Adams

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.

Even a friendly dog with excellent recall can cause real problems for the owner walking their reactive dog on leash; a dog running free is highly exciting to other dogs; it's not fair for the owner of the reactive dog to have to deal with that overstimulation in a "leash only" area.

robert weber

I recently I commented that it is not fair. But your comment makes me feel incorrect. I have had a reactive dog before and I feel that your comment is valid.

Kati Magana

If it is a law and you break it regardless of what it refers to that is breaking the law- which by definition is criminal. If you put your pet in a situation that is unsafe that is your responsibility and ergo you are a bad pet owner. Pets are like our kids, it's our job to keep them safe.

Kim Ritchie

yes because they are putting their dog as well as people with leashed pets at risk. Not all dogs like other dogs and not all people are comfortable with strange dogs running up to them.

Ann Thomas

There are laws and rules for a reason. No one should think that laws and rules don't apply to them. If they want their dog off leash then go out in the woods where no one else is or to a fenced dog park.

Deborah Albright

BECAUSE most dog owners that do this have zero respect for others or property.. NEVER pick up poop and feel entitled

Nic Secor

There are leash laws for good reason. On a side note Bend Parks and Recreation need to put up signs at dog parks reminding owners that they are liable for damages their dogs cause to other dogs or humans under Oregon law. Bend PD treat dog parks like they are outside of their jurisdiction.

A bad dog owner is someone who is not able to care of the animal or mistreats the animal. The person is just not considerate of others and will break the law for whatever reason they may have. *if you have an aggressive dog it is the OWNERS responsibility to keep the dog under control anywhere

Payton Dixson

There are many factors, if your dog has great recall and obeys to stay in a heal being off leash is fine as the dog is still in verbal control. Dogs that do not listen should not be off leash.

k san

No, that's too big a generalization. However, those owners should never let their pet off-leash in those areas.

robert weber

Maybe there pet is trusted and not reactive. Why does a none relative happy pet need to be restricted?

Switched to YouTube from Cable like it so much better because of what we normally watch is programmed for us.

Adam Nixon

I'd say it's like 60/40 in favor of things like user generated content, but it has more to do with time than anything else. Due to things like work and chores, I just don't have time during the day for movies/TV. But for a few hours in the evening, I tend to watch more movies/TV, which I prefer.

Andrew Cozzini

This is one of those where I'm voting the honest truth, even though I'd prefer it be the other (while still making time for Geekvolution, of course). I think it's because of how casually I can spend hours on YouTube, as opposed to being intentional about catching up on content I intend to consume.
