Blood Alley
Solution
Summary.
This
solution consists of: Plate detection and speed calculations, and alerts going
out to cell phones in given stretches of roadway, of high speed traffic coming
from the rear.
Information available to citizens (no plate
info for citizens, just warning of incoming high speed or safety vehicle) and
CHP, on a real time basis. Again. this
information could be coupled with alerts to pull over for emergency vehicles.,
Can you imagine how many lives and homes might be saved, if everybody pulled
over to the side en masse?
All of the
technologies currently exist. Only the computer program linking them and the hardware
installations would have to be done.
Ideally the hardware would be movable to different highways, to spread
the costs for maximum benefits to many.
Plate
reading cameras installed at key intersections.
In the case of highway 49, just after each of the major stop lights,
both north and south bound. Northbound
first, if it has the higher number of crashes from speeders and erratic
drivers. Example, all cars going up the
hill at Combie are plate read as they go up the hill. The starting point would be back at the last
traffic light in Auburn. All cars going
over the rise and down the hill would be read there.
The two
readings are compared and alerts are sent out if necessary. All non speeding info is disposed of within
one hour, unless there is a crash and witnesses are needed. (You’d be surprised
how many folks don’t want to be bothered testifying)
Obviously
the CHP can’t catch them all. However, whoever has the fastest time for each of
the midway points, and the grand prize winner for the fastest time to the
McKnight Way exit, for each day, is now eligible for double fine and double
points for any traffic infraction anywhere in California, for up to one year
from winning the award. And their
insurance companies will be notified.
Only plates going 10 mph or faster over the posted limits, with all
lights assumed to be green, would be included.
Oh for the day when nobody is eligible!
This issue
has bothered me all my life, 40,000 dead every year, and we are supposed to be
the greatest country ever, and yet we accept this? SMH! That’s one Twin Towers every month and then
some, ridiculous!
