The Speed Of Nothing…
Tuesday, June 5th, 2007
… And that ‘nothing’ is speeding.
This is the top of the hill on 10th Ave., near the hospital. People tend to go over the speed limit up there, which always amazes me. The visibility isn’t great since the hill is fairly steep on both sides, and the hospital is about a half block past the sign.
I’m always happy to see them put out this reminder of what the speed limit (25 miles per hour equals about 40km) really is on that road. But as you can see, some folks still zip past it without much regard for what it says. When I stopped to take this picture, most were going roughly the limit, while a few didn’t seem to care much.
The radar isn’t actually tracking nothing, of course. There was a car going by outside of the view of my camera. I just liked the idea of it tracking… oh, say, the speed of light? A really fast bug? Random air molecules? Or maybe stupid ideas like the previous three?

A sort of benign speed trap. Here, where I live, the police set in private driveways and catch you with radar guns. And they do all sorts of things. You would think they are getting a cut of the action.
Thank you for visiting my blog. I appreciate seeing your name there.
Hello
Speed is forbiden everywhere.
Is France we have the same thing but with automatic camera in the system.
If you drive to fast…in 2 weeks maximum you receive a nice ticket.
This kind of trap have saved 3000 lives in France last year, because drivers start to respect speed limits.
this is cool, maybe reason why they dont bother with the spped limit is there’s no one to give them the ticket
