DSCP raising cash with no
relevance to road safety yet again
They seem to have some new toys that
they need to pay for. This site has already been highlighted as the most ridiculous
place to rigidly enforce the unsuitable 30 limit.
On this occasion, I walked past the
van which was open and challenged the operators about what they were doing and how
it contributed to road safety. The response was along the lines of “we have a list
of sites we have been asked to work at and this is one of them”. So the operators
do not have any ideas about what is safe, what is not, and how to best use the clearly
expensive resources that critically need to be best employed to reduce the still
unacceptable accident rates on the roads.
It seems that also those who design
the operations do not either. Compared to the multitude of problems on the roads,
anyone who really believes that operations like this are best positioned to make
safety improvements are clearly completely incompetent.
