No one would use EZPass if they did that. The benefits must outweigh that decision.

Do people just say fuck it and chuck whatever is in their hand in the nearest bush??

they drop it right where they're standing, the wind blows it into the bush.

No! That would require walking to the nearest bush. The only prerequisite for ridding oneself of trash is the presence of gravity.

It's a thing that goes back years. My old ad agency actually did anti-littering commercials for the city back in the 90's. Clearly our persuasive powers were limited. Or those doing it are shitty citizens.

Smart man! 😄

So happy for you.

A few miles into the county.

This is correct. We're still gathering. The goal is safety, not revenue generation.

Yeah, but that's the speed drop for people who are issued warnings or citations, not everyone driving by. Quite obviously, average speeds have slowed down considerably where the cameras are installed.

I've been following your tweets. I'm happy for you.

I have watched people give absolutely zero fucks and throw trash any and everywhere. Unfortunately the culture doesn't seem to care too much about it. Look at the overflowing garbage bins and trash in the streets, not even the city cares. Check out the 311 app, its basically an app for the city. You can submit requests for just about anything including trash related issues.

Probably because DPW is a shit show right now. And recycling hasn’t been picked up, so it gets blown around

I thought it was announced as $40, but $75 sounds more realistic. In DC they’re like $100.

Does anyone know why the speed limit going north from downtown is lower than going south into downtown? The roads feel pretty similar to me, but one is set at 40 and the other at 50.

I'm not sure. I was under the impression that at least some types of permits have to be pulled by a licensed contractor/electrician/plumber. I hope you don't mean the company was going to charge you thousands for just handling the permitting, that's been just a nominal fee when I've had it done, or they don't charge at all. Word to the wise, check to see that permits have been pulled if the contractor said they are doing it. I caught an electrician pulling a fast one in that regard and it almost delayed a house closing.

Changing out valves does not require a permit.

It’s unclear what the actual situation is here. Definitely don’t sign away your right to keep the contractor responsible for performing up-to-code level improvements, but I can’t tell what else is being negotiated here. Definitely don’t sign a contract that totally indemnifies the contractor even in cases of negligence.

If there's no stats on accidents, injuries, and fatalities, then it's nothing more than a revenue stream.

going forward, what are your preferred pronouns? just so I don't screw up.

While yes, also, they don't even have that on the EZ pass express lanes
