You can add my voice to those in support of speed cameras and red light cameras. Automated enforcement is the only method that I think stands a chance of achieving the goals of better behavior by drivers. Ultimately, I'd love to see the money generated from these programs fund multi-modal improvements like transit, bicycling, and pedestrian infrastructure, but I hav ea feeling the General Assembly wouldn't allow that to happen. Of note, a NACTO statement on a study released by the National Transportation Safety Board confessing that speed plays far too large a role in the 40,000 annual auto fatalities in the US, and that we have done far too little to address the issue (links below): NACTO - Federal Study Concludes U.S. Must Change Policies to Curb Epidemic of Deaths Caused by Excessive Motorist Speed NTSB - Reducing Speeding-Related Crashes Involving Passenger Vehicles

A couple of photos of the sun rising over skyscrapers from Romare Bearden park, taken about a week and a half ago.

Photo of the bridge closure from this morning at Hawthorne Lane. As a resident who lives within a stones through of the bridge, I do wish they'd maintained ped and bike access until the last possible moment/demolition, but I did enjoy the most quiet several hours since moving in to our house - almost no traffic and no emergency vehicles using Hawthorne through the night. See you in 2019, Hawthorne Lane bridge.

Howdy, new to the forum. Great morning for a bike commute in Charlotte.
