This guy is right on. We don’t always enforce traffic for safety, but also for revenue. We have stop signs that exist for no reason other than to regulate traffic flow which is BS. We have speed traps that nail people to to raise money rather than to preserve safety.
Look at all the stop signs in a parking lot next time you are in wal-mart or what not. And you *don’t* even have to stop at those.

I’m with you. The writer of this article is correct. Especially when it comes to speed limits changing all the time.
It has very little to do with safety and a lot to do with generating revenue by having traffic police waiting to nail you for going over the limit. Why else would you have so many stretches of road where the limit arbitrarily goes from 50 to 35, or from 65 to 55, etc. Not to mention that just trying to adjust to the decreased limit is a pile up waiting to happen.
