General Road and Highway Discussion

I agree completely about actually have a very clear definition of what is and isn't acceptable.



"Also, with pervasive enforcement, a different approach should be taken. Everybody should get a certain number of free warnings for minor violations. For example, maybe everybody gets 1 incident at 5km/h over the limit per month. Again, I don’t know what the exact rules need to be, but there is a big difference between automated pervasive enforcement of exact rules and judgement-driven occasional enforcement conducted manually."

My gut reaction is that if its appropriate to give somebody something like 1 exemption/month, then your rules aren't set properly. If we're saying "You can't go > 40km/hour because its too dangerous", it doesn't seem right to then say "You can do 45km/hour, but only once a month". I'd have to think about it a bit though to see if there are cases where it does make sense.

Although, this is different than something like an educational period. Where you're not charging people because the level of ignorance is too high and you need some period of time to set the new expectations.
