I have to laugh at the new state law allowing cameras to catch speeders in construction zones. Well, almost.
Only in Indiana is going 11 miles over the speed limit not considered speeding. What is there about the term “speed limit” that legsilators don’t comprehend?
Back east, a camera catches you going one mile over the limit and bazinga! You receive a ticket in the mail (it matters not who is actually driving, the vehicles registrant pays the fine).
Great! now Illinois has cheaper gas than Indiana – signs on Westbound 74 show cheaper gas in Danville, IL. Thanks Eric
it’s increasing by 1 cent…….
This could not be a serious comment! And should one travel to Illinois to buy gasoline?
This school library book removal grievance bill is truly one of the dumbest laws ever passed in Indiana (and that’s a low threshold). Why trust the professionals when “the average person, applying contemporary community standards” has a grievance to lodge? Internet MAGA warriors now get a further means to muck up education and be a drain on our teachers and administrators. Just terrible.

I would love to see total reform of the way traffic rules are made and enforced.
To start, speed limits should be dictated primarily by road parameters – including lane width. For example, there is no point in having a 25MPH speed limit when lanes are 14′ wide; people will drive 45MPH+ because that’s what feels natural with such wide lanes. Such disconnects between lane width and speed limits amount to manufactured speed traps. They inherently cause endemic speeding, while also creating safety hazards for anybody on or near the road. And that’s not to mention the how excessively expensive it is to build and maintain excessively wide lanes for roads whose speed limits are meant to be low.
Most traffic enforcement should be done electronically. Police stops for minor traffic violations are just ridiculous invasions of privacy, and American courts – including SCOTUS – seem to not think that many basic 4th amendment protections should not apply to people who are behind the wheel of a car. Traffic stops as we know them give a mechanism for police to abuse citizens; open up the police and the public to danger; and prevent the police from investigating major crimes, building connections with the community; and doing other such important work. Instead of having a fleet of traffic police, we should have a fleet of cameras with a couple officers who sit behind a screen from 9-5 to review speed camera footage, identify drivers who are suspected of speeding, & write tickets.
Then we must make sure that any automated traffic enforcement is done in a way that is data safe and that builds trust with the community. Keep companies that get a commission on tickets out of the equation. Any system should be open-source and be subjected to regular 3rd-party audits such that the public knows exactly what “the system” is doing with the data it collects. These systems should not be storing data about anybody whose data may need to be used as evidence in court about a traffic violation. This should only be about traffic enforcement, not mass-surveillance.
$.604 taxes per gallon and this the roads we have, mission control we have a problem!
