I know. I remember when I lived in Texas, Austin had a car on the side of I35 that wasn't even manned. People would still slow down when they saw it. Sit a car at the beginning of a construction zone in an obvious spot, and the idjits will fall all over themselves slowing down.Well, since Indiana is in the black and traffic fines go into the general fund, no reason to enforce traffic at all. Which is pretty much what you're seeing in most places, there's just not the manpower to address traffic in a lot of places.
Visible cars slow traffic for as long as the car is in view, maybe. I don't even tap the brakes unless the idjits in front of me decide to show how well they are complying by dropping to 5 under in the fast lane.
Hmm...you say enforcement is down. Maybe we see the root reason for this then.
