I'm all for anything that will make driving safer, whether that's education, enforcement or better street design.

Drivers SHOULD be more cautious. And enforcement SHOULD reflect the inherent dangers of each mode of transportation, not simply the death tolls they recieve. Do I expect those to happen any time soon? Sadly, no. "Train and blame" isn't likely to be any more effective with drivers than with pedestrians or factory workers.

Sadder yet is the fact that it's much easier for us to change local road design or even city-wide rules much more easily than we can affect the policies of the HPD or MTO. Such changes are more likely to be effective anyway, so that's where we focus.

Why would I want cake if I didn't also get to eat it?
