If any city was honest and serious about increasing safety, they’d do like they did in the UK. They’re big, HIGHLY VISIBLE, and are put mainly in high accident locations. They basically serve as a warning sign to get people to slow the eff down and drive safely in otherwise dangerous sections of road. Instead the American hype machine went to work and cities were sold on the idea of quick and easy cash, so now they’re popping up everywhere. And that’s not even touching on the legality of them. If everyone would challenge them in court and at least make *someone* in authority say they did something illegal maybe these things would go away. Basically the cities are handing over their authority to a private company, which of course opens up all sorts of legal loopholes.
