hoping this catches on, pretty please CA...

i like the fact that the money can only go into maintaining the speed cameras or into making the road safer. those are both things desperately needed, especially in LA.

The real issue is all the US roads are designed to be safe 20 mph faster than what the posted speed is. So people drive the speed they feel is safe. Lowering speed limits does nothing. What needs to happen is road redesign. Make the lanes narrower. Plant trees right next to the road. Have more curves and complexities.
