I moved to the City right before they got installed on don’t have a basis. But I commute to the County via 83, and haven’t been affected by a traffic accident on it yet.

Yeah.. what's the takeaway here?
Performance metrics = good, but quotas = bad?
At some point if somebody is failing to meet "performance metrics" they're going to get dinged on a performance review because of it, and at that point is it effectively any different from a quota?

Accidents tend to cause traffic, so I guess in that regard?

Probably avoid the late night pirate cruise then. It's drinking focused more than anything.
If you have kids/nieces/nephews, the daytime one is worth it.

This happens everywhere in md police departments. Just not always with a benchmark metric, but best believe they report and compare numbers on everything from arrears to traffic stops and the trends month to month. If your trends are down and you’re getting money for highway safety or crime enforcement you better hope the trend in whatever bad outcome (violence, crashes etc) is not up or they’ll point at your numbers and say you’re doing a bad job
A lot of this by the way is result of people saying the police aren’t doing shit about stuff, they use these numbers to say they are doing something. It’s the only way they know how

Vietnam is also influenced by it. A lot of other Asian countries such as Malaysia, Singapore, all had significant migration of Han Chinese people. If you’re talking about Laos, Thailand, Cambodia then I’d agree with you.

Maryland would have to have a left lane law first.
Currently, the only law regarding 'left-lane use' we have on the book is that in the left lane of a 3+ lane expressway, you must be going at least within 10mph of the posted speed limit.
So the only 'legal' speeds in the left lane of the JFX are between 30-40mph in the southern part, and 40-50mph for all other portions in the city.

I got in the habit of using Waze to get out of my neighborhood and onto 83 every day to commute north from the city for work. Accidents were so common, I needed Waze to let me know if my ramp was closed and I needed to go around. My ramp hasn’t been closed since the cameras were installed.

Are they writing tickets? I hate saying this, but I hope they are.

I have no data on any of this but it feels better and I seem to be seeing less accidents as of late. Logically it makes sense too, if you could go 90mph from exit 10 all the way to the city your average speed is 90mph. BUT, if you have to slow down to 50mph every couple of miles it lowers your average speed while also clumping cars together making it difficult to get back up to extreme speeds.

"traffic" meaning jams - cameras don't really impact that.
"traffic" meaning all the cars on the road at any time - yes its better, people seem to realize driving like human life has no meaning will cost them 55 dollars or whatever.

Fringe is great, albeit expensive. Laura and her team do great work and are super LGBTQ inclusive.

Definitely feels like it... I drive it every day and haven't had to sit through a single accident related delay since they were installed.
It felt like previously it was a coinflip every time there was a moderate amount of rain.
