Marilyn's Photos - Oct 4 2025 - Those Speed Cameras

 

There's something everyone wants to "weigh in" on.  Those municipal traffic speed cameras.  Ours has gone bye-bye quite a number of times - clearly more against it in Grimsby.  Twenty-two municipal leaders have requested the province "fully reimburse all municipalities for the costs" of cancelling the Automated Speed Enforcement program. Our cameras are in school zones.  Well, the camera pole is still there.  Now what's there are those centre of the road markers to slow people dow and raised cross-walk with zebra stripes.  That works.   This is one of those crazy Premier moments.  When Doug Ford goes "Trump" and calls the tool as a tax grab, and decides, King-like, to ban the use of them.  The CBC article says it was his government who passed regulations in 2019 allowing the programs.  I wonder how self-driving cars will work and whether the owner can get the self-driving car to do these crazy things we do now. Will there be add-ons for self-driving cars so the driver can go through stop signs, speed through red lights and rush through school zones, just like they do today? Maybe a black-market add-on I used a Topaz filter to get the speed effects on Gerry's car.  He can speed through our neighbourhood, but don't stop and park.  It is no parking on our streets now that the hospital( two streets over) is being rebuilt.
