This excuse is hilarious. They've tried every EXCEPT enforcing the law and using controls that work. You can break the law right in front of a Metro cruiser and they won't do a damned thing if they've already made quota. Most of the ideas around controls are dated. Vegas as a metro area at its core is designed around very household owning multiple (3+) cars. That's not going to change because they don't want it to. Can't wait to see all the different ways these traffic cams fail.
Have they tried not making their entire metro a grid of unwalkable 4-lane surface highways? No, they have not. Even on the Strip pedestrians are second-class citizens. This is the city that turned their main pedestrian tourist attraction into a literal F1 track.
That should build pedestrian tunnels. Helps keep the heat out. And the cars.
They do have a network of tunnels. It's full of cars. (That might have already been your joke, sorry if it was)
Maybe.... just maybe.....
we should have never invested in car based infrastructure in the city known for giving out free alcohol to gamblers to keep them gambling.
The whole place still acts like people drive there, but most visitors these days fly in.
They should do raised pedestrian crossings, heavy metal bollards, protected bike lanes, and trams. That'll fix it.
Cameras means that the rich can still speed without being burdened with pesky pedestrians or trams.
But I don't want the rich to speed through Las Vegas while drunk
Tunnels. They provide natural insulation.
Feels like what they actually want is an excuse for even more public surveillance. AI cameras with remote cloud upload are a privacy nightmare when used in public places. You're feeding everyone's movements through those intersections to AI companies.
No, no. I'm sure the casinos will get their take of the data before it makes it to the AI companies
