Just when you think the machines have taken over….a glimmer of good news…..

[quote=pencilneck]Yes, this is step in the right direction.

I also have a problem with socialist programs such as traffic lights (the free market should decide who goes first), but that’s a different conversation altogether.[/quote]

You laugh, but we’re not too off…

Law will let two-wheelers go on red in Va.

RICHMOND — Beginning July 1, it will be okay for motorcyclists and bicyclists and moped drivers to go through a red light.

Sensors under the roadway can’t detect the two-wheelers, so the law is intended to have stoplights treated light stop signs.

The new law allows two-wheel vehicles to pass through as long as there’s no oncoming traffic and after either waiting 120 seconds at a red light or waiting for two light cycles.

The two-wheelers, however, must yield to oncoming traffic that is actually going on the green

I can’t say I have an issue with them at all, as long as they are cost-effective.

Thing is – if roads were private, there would probably be mechanisms more sophisticated than this to ding people who make the roads unsafe.

In other words “free market” is not the same as “lawless” or “unregulated” as most people believe.

Excellent news, aldante!

We are very slow, safe drivers, but the red light cameras are an extreme invasion of privacy, IMHO. I don’t like the government monitoring everything we do, and I especially don’t like private companies monitoring everything we do (yes, we are all being monitored…I get that).

The less monitoring we have, the better.

Economic socialist, social libertarian. 🙂

They should keep the things in place to instill the fear of a ticket. They should focus cameras on the people who roll through red lights and stop signs.

Im suprised they havent spaced the timing in between lights – between a red one way and the green the other. This would cut down on the potential for accidents due to the clowns that run reds.

There are bigger fish to fry, like all the morons in this state that refuse to use a turn signal. I wish we were allowed to run those people off the road for that nonsense.

And stop ticketing people for speeding on the highway (referring to the ones that stay in the left lanes, not the ones that lane change like they are in a nascar race). All the fast and furious rice rocket boys who feel the need to lane change constantly without signals should be the focal point of Highway Patrol.

Lastly, put left lane for passing only laws like Jersey has. The HP in Jersey are ruthless with that law and we need it here.
