Not useful, esp. when places post 30 or 40 mph zones and it is a high traffic zone which allows higher speeds (which ppl will drive). Area appropriate speed limits would make it better for motorists, but will not bring the revenue small towns want.

apiergallini Veteran Author North Carolina Posts:389 Points:249,955 Joined:Mar 2011	Message Posted: Jun 6, 2012 1:40:38 PM Ignore apiergallini Report Abuse The people who ran Nestor after Danzell was ousted as CEO sound like the real cons - "As the company went under, executives paid themselves handsomely while stiffing contractors who did work for the firm." This was actually NOT Danzell, but those who took over after him. Isn't this what most of the people on here want - privatization of government functions? Most people on here always seem to be saying "get government out of this, out of that - let private industry handle it!" Be careful what you wish for....

How does that improve safety in the here and now?
