Reply to Has the traffic on 83 gotten any better with the new speed cameras installed? by socaTsocaTsocaT
I drive it every day and don't think I've seen any accidents near the Pepsi sign since the cameras went in there, although there have been a few elsewhere.
So I think it has definitely reduced the number of accidents, and in the AM rush traffic often slows to a crawl after Coldspring until just after the cameras. I suppose that's a reasonable tradeoff for not having the road shut down for accident clean-ups.

I'm not here for tit for tat or arguing. If you don't follow what I'm saying, it isnt a big deal.

Yeah... Thanks for making my point. It specified 23 out of all the schools in the city. They never said all schools

There are still good schools out there and positive things happening. It's not all bad.

I am not saying to ignore. But it is obvious they are unbiased and one sided is all.

If you have kids or could borrow someone else', the kids cruise on the Pirate boat during the day on weekends is excellent and very well done. They do a great job.

So the solution should be to ignore and pretend everything is fine? Interesting take. I think most parents would want schools to actually teach and the schools should be put on blast

Yeah. The positioning of the cameras seems great because like you said, it seemed like 9/10 accidents would be at that Northern Parkway/Coldspring corridor, and people are essentially now forced to go ~55 through there. Even the assholes who want to go 90 generally can't from what I've seen because traffic slows down from everybody else dodging the cameras and they can't pass it.

I agree. I’m up and down the 83 a few times a day. the bend after cold spring seemed to have at least an accident a day around there.

Also just my anecdotal experience, but agreed. Still the occasional and expected idiots slamming on the brakes to drop from 90 to 50 and/or weaving in and out of lanes, but general speeds seem lower than before, and it’s hard to gain speed when cars bunch up near the cameras.

Crafted on Chestnut in Hampden. Excellent people and they will get where you're coming from. Can't say enough good things about them. Sam is amazing.

The completely made-up rule has no way of making it undone, definitely no way that the troopers could say "we're not doing this anymore and it would be the way things are now done. Nope, no way to change a procedure. Bunch of assholes.

Has anyone even gotten a ticket? I’ve never seen one flash, usually see it with the others, both on the street and in my mailbox

There have definitely been fewer major accidents that either partially or fully close down 83 since they have been installed. I feel like a couple of years ago, there was a major accident every 2 - 3 days that had 83 shutting down. It seems like these events are less frequent since the camera installations. That's just a personal observation/opinion, though. I would be interested in seeing statistical data on it.
