My son just came home from school and told me he’d gotten a prize from Arl FSS for answering a question at a pedestrian safety presentation!  He said the presentation was really good. It’s wonderful that you did this!

Decades-long experience with speed cameras shows they can reduce deaths and serious injuries by 20-25% and more. Arguments lodged against speed cameras are easily refuted or at least insubstantial when weighed against their life-saving benefits. virginiamercury.com/2024/01/11/why…
