You must like driving 25 MPH?
The city is turning into a giant residential neighborhood. Speed bumps everywhere, no turn on red signs, and now speed trap cameras. They really hate cars.
But tbf a large chunk of Seattle is residential
I'm in support of speed bumps and no turn on red signal. As a pedestrian, cars (and bikes!) are dangerous.
Cameras suck though. Fuck cameras.
The city residents are also seemingly forgetting about safety. In the past six months there's been a car accident on the intersection right by my building about every month from somebody running a red light and colliding.
Cameras have their privacy considerations but I'm getting concerned about my safety as a pedestrian.
