They'll do anything to actually fix the root of the problem. Speed cameras is an invisible deterrent and usually highly unpopular. What they should have done is change the road design. Anything less is a cash grab since the fines doesn't go back into the road system directly to actually induce long term change.
We also need to talk about the capabilities of modern cars, licensing, and the age and capabilities of the drivers on the road.
Newer cars these days have sensors with emergency braking, but this is not foolproof. However, we know that cars can be made to have more safety features for not only the passengers of the car, but also those on the road. So when will the government mandate more safety features of driving a multi-ton steel box? Here's another more extreme solution, if the highest speed limit in the entirely of Canada is for example...120km/h - then why allow cars go faster than that?
Licensing has been inconsistent. Looking at the kinds of driving happening on the road these days lack of signalling, impaired driving, erratic driving, spatial awareness of other drivers - it's clear that people are getting licensed somehow, one way or another. There's even been cases of delivery truck drivers operating without a valid license.
Then there's the age aspect and those that lack skill due to how little some people drive. You see people with 20+ year old cars and you look inside and it's an elderly person driving below the speed limit. They're causing a massive jam - yet nothing is done about it. In the eyes of the law, they're driving safely. You and everyone's time be damned eh?
Or how about we actually invest in good, cheap, efficient public transport? An actual rail network? A highspeed rail network? Oh wait - this is Canada, we can't have that. We're too fucking broke to have anything these days and gotta go around and beg private capital to come in to 'save us'. Canada Strong alright./s
