Traffic camera

Saw a guy setting up a traffic camera in (Superior) Arizona, and so naturally I walked over and talked to him.
He said it was for speeding tickets, as you entered town. If you are going 11 mph over the speed limit you get a ticket in the mail. He's surprised more communities don't do it.
And remember, this is libertarian Arizona people.
Can you imagine such a thing in Wisconsin?
Making people slow down, making money from those who don't, and making it safer for pedestrians and cyclists.

I don't see WI going for it, where they are opposed to open road tolling and check points for drunk drivers - even though there is a need for revenue for the roads from users and WI is #1 in drunk driving.
Moving "Forward"?
I don't think so.
