Traffic Enforcement as it reflects the national political divide 

Speed Bumps to Proliferate in City of Encinitas

--------------------

Article based on press release in U.T. and Encinitas Advocate

Encinitas agrees to ease rules regarding speed "cushion" installation

 Both dismiss all serious objections with this closing sentence:  "Typically, he said, the people who live along a newly cushioned roadway give the bumps high praise, while drivers who live elsewhere and use the roadways as quick cut-through routes complain."  

---------------------------

My response:

Nonsense, Those who object to this one sided decision propose  seriously evaluating all the complexity of traffic systems to optimize utility and safety of all users.
