Crosswalks are racist, too. And auto insurance.

And turn signals.................

Wow, I had no idea traffic cameras had become so sophisticated. So the camera can focus in on the driver of the vehicle, determine race from skin tone and facial features, then decide to trigger or not? All in a split second? These are pretty good algorithms.

Or is the camera merely synchronized with the light and triggers if there is a vehicle in the intersection illegally, regardless of the race/color/creed/gender/religion/sexual orientation of the driver?

It has devolved into calling inanimate objects racist. What's next, the Moon is racist? Pluto is racist? Maybe that's why it got demoted from planet? Or was the act of demoting Pluto racist? It is so hard to keep up.

One of the reasons I no longer want to move to Florida are all the red light cameras they have. Toll roads are another reason. And the bugs. And Alligators.

[Red Badger]

I don’t like toll roads either.
So I don’t use them.

Not ever county uses red light cameras. Ours doesn’t, and neither do the two counties either side of us. Small crooked towns, like in Dukes of Hazzard, are another matter. But they have those in every state.

As for bugs and gators, that’s just nature... everything gotta eat something..........................

‘And Alligators.;

alligators, if left alone as they should be, will pose almost zero threat to humans...

humans, on the other hand, pose tremendous threats to the alligators...

I’ve not been victimised yet by a red light camera. Or an alligator. I carry a small alligator in the back seat to use as a weapon. There aren’t many toll roads and a Sun Pass will keep the costs down. Bugs aren’t a big problem unless you hike in the mangroves, at which time mosquitos could drag you away to their lair.

Do mosquito’s even have lairs? Anyway…

I do worry about anacondas. Those suckers are scary. They’re even eating alligators now.

I am retired—and noticed that if I stay off the roads during rush hour I can avoid most of the crazy speeders.

They are usually stressed out commuters late for something.

I like the icon permitting Walking at the intersection.

A WHITE figure.

The solution is clear - index traffic fines according to the race and intersectionality index of offenders.

Transgender Black “women” would of course be exempted from any responsibility for their actions (as long as they remain ideologically supportive of Leftist politics).

[nickcarraway]

Didn’t a black man imvent the stop light?

According to ProPublica, the pandemic widened the ticketing disparities for Blacks because Black workers have been far less likely than others to have jobs that allow them to work remotely, forcing them into their vehicles more often.

So ticket cars sitting in their garages or driveways. That will achieve your equity.

Hi.

I recommend that we sell Chicago to Canada. Same with Detroit.

And please, sell Puerto Rico back to Spain.

No downside.

Sell Puerto Rico back to Spain? They dumped it on us, on purpose. We couldn’t give it away................

[M Kehoe]

Poop.

Puerto Rico could be the Gem of the Caribbean as a luxury resort and world class vacation spot.

All they have to do is get rid of their Democrat overseers..............

I was a stay at home dad and I did the same thing. I got our business done by 2.

[minnesota_bound]

Tickets are too expensive.
