Photo Speed Cameras coming to a work zone near you!

But again, another program like Red Light Cameras that has nothing to do with "public safety" and "reducing speed", but is more about REVENUE! They figure people are going to speed, so why bother having cops pull them over (which stops the infraction and provides a visual deterrent to other drivers) when instead they can just issue tickets after the fact and collect the money. Hell, they could even issue multiple tickets to the same driver by having more than one photo camera in a single work zone! Orwell was right, he was just wrong about the year....

“We are trying something new to see if we can get drivers to slow down and make the work zones safer,” said Mike Dornfeld, WSDOT Traffic Operations. “These cameras are just part WSDOT’s mission to keep drivers and workers safe on the road and traffic moving.
“There will be outreach to the public to let them know when the cameras are coming,” he said. “Our goal is to get drivers to voluntarily slow down in the work zone, not issue a bunch of infractions.” what a bunch of bullshit. |

We knew this was coming though.....first it was photo radar in school zones (even some in bonney Lake!), then this construction zone stuff, then intersections (maybe that's around already, I just haven't seen it in the south end), then finally they'll have it set up randomly at overpasses. Photo jammers anyone?

Well..not really, but I'll ask andrew from the Laser Interceptor thread....he knows his stuff.
You know, after I get my LI shipped out (I'm on the mazda group buy) and installed....and used in conjunction with my passport 8500 x50....and maybe after that some sort of photo jammer....watch me get nailed by getting paced (ground or air). My last 2 tickets have been by "pacing". I mean all this stuff will definately help, but it's sure as hell not going to allow me to drive over 100 all the time.
