Reply to comment by rmbryla in Cambridge City Council to consider citywide ban on ‘turning on red’ by superfakesuperfake

The distractions in driving have increased with the scaled adoption of smart devices… cars are now and increasingly becoming rolling computers …

Yeah the whole screens in cars is such a bad idea. Switching from physical buttons makes it harder for drivers to keep their eyes on the road since you need to look for controls instead of feel them. Didn't realize that's what you were talking about in your comment. Sounded like you were saying traffic cameras have to come with more screens that will distract people

No worries. Just highlighting that the scope of the problem is larger than what is being addressed by this myopic solution.

Yeah absolutely not a single silver bullet, but I think no turn on red and camera enforcement can be part of the solution

It can… without dialogue this though we wouldn’t come to better mutual solutions. Cameras have proven their utility, they shouldn’t be the replacement for the onus.
