How to stop dangerous drivers? California hiring more cops: Roadshow

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 14:58:21 GMT

Q: Sorry, Mr. Roadshow, without enforcement (old-fashioned ticketing) Bay Area drivers are not going to slow down, no matter how narrow and dangerous a city makes its roads.Sirens, flashing lights, and big fines not only embarrass scofflaws, they send a direct message to every driver who sees them pulled over. Having police on key roads on a random day and time schedule should provide the maximum positive effect on our streets. I hope you agree.Rich Crowley, San JoseA: Yes, enforcement is an important part of keeping our roads safe. Slowly, we are getting there. The CHP is hiring 1,000 new officers over the next few years. Over 6,550 CHP officers are assigned now across the state, with 300+ now in training.Q: Christopher Cross asked last week what Swiss roads are made of that makes them so free of potholes. The question presupposes that the building materials are the deciding factor, but there could be others.For one, European countries don’t generally add more lane-kilometers...
