It's insane the lengths that some people will go to save a few seconds on their commute, while also endangering others.

      Ah yes, let's just close all the roads in the country until we get that sorted out, great idea.

        Why not? It's obviously a huge hazard and people can't be trusted to use it safely. So for the public health and safety this road should be closed. This also means the poor council doesn't need to maintain this road anymore saving money in the long run. Maybe a train could even replace where the road was increases throughput and safety for everyone.

          Why not?

          Because that's hardly what can be considered a realistic solution. Again, not against it, but what, are you gonna close down like 90% of roads? Only some of them, if so, which ones, and how is stuff handled on the ones that remain open?

              just roads that "require" speed cameras.

              So when's that the case or not

              I'm sure your plan will be popular with the motoring public that anti speed camera rhetoric is trying to appeal to.
