   The fall of the speed camera
  I love the current ideas being thrown around by the UK government- they are going to stop putting speeding fines into the construction of more speed cameras but putting it into softer traffic calming measures.Its happened and has worked on continental europe- their traffic calming measures are a lot softer, subtle and far more effective, or so I've heard. They use different colours on the roads to warn people to slow down, they narrow up the road with bicycle lanes so people have less area to work with and many more. These on the whole have been working better than the merciless yellow box.So now the UK government are putting money into narrowing sections of road, making junctions a different colour and putting up signs which read your speed in real time and tell you how fast you are going. All of these have slowed and will slow even more people down. Its softer and won't rub people up the wrong way.I'm really pleased to hear this news since its lessened its police state and giving people responsability over themselves- they are slowing down because they want to slow down instead of being forced to slow down by thosed damned cameras. Anyway, thought I should tell y'all-MoCo   
  They can make our roads narrower? :)
