Maybe they will, maybe they won’t, we don’t need to scream slippery slope at every good idea

We're screaming slippery slope at a terrible idea.

But this is not a good idea.

Construction is among the most dangerous jobs there is and road construction is probably worse, do you have an alternative to help protect the lives of these vital people or do you just wanna save the $40?

Yeah - I'd rather properly deter speeders and reckless drivers by having a solid law enforcement presence that does actually slow people down. Not a "gotcha" camera that sends fines in the mail days or weeks later that does almost nothing to slow these speeders down at the moment of their violation.

Or do you just want to save the money that we'd spend on overtime / law enforcement to do the job right?

Do you plan for cops to be everywhere all at once?
