Great to bring the speeders down, but I saw numbers as low as 12 km/h show up there. If you're only doing 12 in a 30 zone, you don't deserve the money either.
this won't change anyone's behavior. they may slow down around there but as soon as the camera is in the distance they will resume at their regular speed. there is no one on this earth who goes exactly the speed limit and not one mile per hour faster
Encouraging others through positivity has a wider impact than negativity. The premise is to reward good behavior and that will eventually reflect on others in multiple ways. Doing the right thing is always good.
The point is not to slow everyone down and insure that they waste more time travelling, out of fear of retribution or out of greed. The point is to prevent accidents on the road, by making people know more about accidents and how to prevent them, or making the driving practical test harder, etc. This is enforcing the letter of the law but totally not the spirit.
just the act of putting the camera there will make people stop speeding, as soon as they are away it goes back to normal, stop patting yourselves on the back and get back to the drawing board
@yoanxp I agree but maybe it would be an even better idea to increase the speed limit in the USA on highways like they do in other countries and then turn the cameras in town where the speed limit is slow into this idea....
@suresoundsgood Just get rid of speed limits in non-urban areas. The autobahn as a whole has less than half the fatalities per measurement of road as the USA. When people drive a constant speed, they get complacent. People aren't allowed to get on the highway and just get where they have to go ASAP. Someone that isn't using their cruise control is paying attention far more than someone who has cruise control on, no hands, knee steering, sipping a big gulp, putting on make up and texting.
Was there a problem with car accidents caused by speeding in this area? If not, all this did was slow down productivity. Also the amount of paper to write over 24 thousand citations/letters, is a ridiculous and unnecessary amount. I like the other Fun Theories but this one may have been changing behavior, but not for good reason.
The problem with this is, if everyone knew about those then people would slow down just to get entered into the lottery. Then if you had the patience you could drive by it a dozen times a day just to get more entries to improve you odds.
@nonumbersattheend That's not fun. It's rewarding. It's pleasing. It makes you happy. But it's not fun. Fun requires entertainment. Walking up a set of stairs and playing a song while you do it, that's fun. Winning money? Not so much so.
This is such a beautiful thing! I have had friends who died from speeders, drunk drivers, red light runners... it's very dangerous living in a large city with yeild-to-oncoming traffic lights, this touched my heart, I hope more places and systems implement something like this!!!
This is an amazing idea, and maybe going 2mph more than permitted may seem like nothing, but the purpose of this is making people doing the right thing.
30km.h??????? how stupid you have to be to limit the speed to 30km? WTF? i would understand if it was very small dangerous road... but now its just stupid...
1) Mormons and Muslims, among other religions, do not support gambling. This is a violation of these people's religious freedom because you are in effect forcing them to enter a lottery and thus to gamble.
2) The Fun Theory is about the intrinsic reward of people doing the right thing because it has become more enjoyable or pleasurable to do so. When an extrinsic reward is introduced, you have violated the prime directive of the Fun Theory.
@SmallCityLiving 1. You're entering a lottery that costs you nothing but cooperation to not risk the lives of pedestrians and other drivers. The point isn't to catch drivers going 32 mph, but possibly 40mph.
2. Fun also has a vague definition and varies person to person. You can't say that the Fun Theory is violated based on what you define as fun.
3. And why bring Congress into this? Politics and fun do not mix.

Great idea but obvioulsy a victim of its own success. If people slow down in order to win then there will be no tickets from which to draw the prize fund....
Lol thats funny but dont do it in 1st world countries i mean... try to do it here in Argentina LOL, the average here with a speed limit of 60km/h would possibly be 90km/h lol
I love the concept behind it. I don't care for the cameras though. On the other hand it does save gas and forces people to not only slow down in their vehicles, but it may also get people to slow down internally. Yes I'm on the fence. :)
we have speed cameras in England. Except the money goes to the government. And they make a lot of money, so they put up more cameras that make even more money. In fact the cameras don't just log speed, London is a "Congestion Zone". When you enter the city, a photo is taken of your car and you must pay £10 per day. Very Corrupt!
here's the thing, considering how inaccurate speedometers can be, they would just be ticketing the people that are DRASTICALLY speeding. which is what a speed cam does. the difference is, they are taking that money and using it to reward the people that truly obey the law. i'd expect that they would be only entering the people that are unquestionably following the law. either way, they would be ticketed for a traffic cam, but this way people have an incentive to avoid that gray area.
i guess Kevin thinks *statutory* law is the law of the land. (oops!:) Kevin thinks that victimless crimes should be punished by taking money from citizens and giving it to the state. good for him: he paid attention in prison cam-- i mean school. Kevin Richardson: winner of the Stasi Society Award. the Rothschilds thank you, Kevin.
@Chicharrero91 I'm agree, my comment said something like yours. So I think that people should not value the money they earn by going slowly, but you should value the lives that do not threaten.
(People slow down to win, but as more people try to win, chances and payout go further and further down, decreasing the incentive.)
Still a great idea though, as half of it is psychological, and it's also less likely the public will feel bitter about the radar checkpoints when most of the time (when passing through at normal speeds), they actually have positive feelings about their presence :)
@RandomnessUK if the money motivates them to stop speeding, once the money is gone (because no speeding tickets are being paid) those people will speed once more, and people will be "killed on the streets" again. Come to think of it this system (if it works as intended) is doomed to be a paradox.
These people didn't slow down because they thought it would lead to cash. They slowed down because The Man was watching and was going to give them a citation.
Thank you, VW, for proposing to monitor my every action and veil it all in "fun."
congrats, wow you must be really smart to find out that one. You know it's a number that indicates how fast were MOST cars passing, yes there have been ones with 36 and some with 28, but they are the extreme cases, MOST cars were passing with 30-34 that gives an average of 32. Now these numbers may changed to 34-26, and 28-32 which means MOST cars are now 2km/h slower. How is that different from what I said?
If you're going to be this defensive, at least try to be right. The average doesn't tell you at all how fast MOST cars were driving. It would be 32 even if 600 cars were going 28 and 400 were going 38, but in this extreme scenario NONE were going 32. Your new example is still an average, if very conditioned (28-36km/h, no slowing traffic, no real speeders...), not like you first statement 'omg 32 in a 30 zone', implying NOBODY was even speeding all that much. That's how it's different.
The statistics are strong with this one. It certainly can't be the fact that people are driving slower because they are being monitored and being cited for speeding (a loss). It must be the reward (a gain). Prospect theory and lurking variables?
@dgnmwn if you win, it is practical, specially in those streets where theres a lot of people and a lot of cars, if u want to go faster, buy a bike or start running
@Mrthestyle1 I know. But driving too slow isn't practical, that's what I meant. ESPECIALLY where there's a lot of cars. Traffic jams because EVERYONE WANTS THE BIG PRIZE. It introduces more problems than it solves.
I hate new pseudo-science people thinking "progressively" about how they'll change the world. Wanna change something? Give guys 10 years of prison per km/h over the speed limit. That would teach them a lesson.
@dgnmwn you've got a good point, it is true, but i dont think that something like punishing people that way (of course i kno that ten years is a joke, but im talking about people paying) because they go over the speed limit, a good solution would be posting their pics on a big add on the street ''people that aparently need to go faster that the other'' all week and every week it changes, they would never do that again >:)
I have experienced a similar project that issued citations for running a red light, regardless if the light was actually just yellow after you passed it. Thus, people would have to slam on their breaks the instant they see yellow. While the rates of people running red lights significantly decreased after installation of the program, the number of rear end collisions rose. Controlling speed is only purposeful if you are trying to reduce speed related accidents. Where is that statistic?
I think the idea is just cute. Even though everybody knows things like this is no solution it's just a fun and different way of dealing with problems in society. Like it!
@Airclot if you reduce fatalities due to speeding or otherwise violating traffic laws, why is there a problem? it's just an inverse ticket: A deposit on a dvd that is returned to you if you bring the dvd back on time works the same way.
we take your picture and you pay us money! What fun!!! I hate this guy and his little doodle. The worst video of this series. Go drive off a cliff Volkswagen.
Free inexhaustible energy is real!But the Establishment doesn't want ppl to know this,Get the blueprints for a free energy motor at LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM ,Let the revolution begin!
@TheDragonAlan In some areas there are Minimum Speed limits as well.
If you are impeding the flow you are a problem. Just because you don't have anything to do but feed the cat and collect Hummels doesn't mean that line of cars behind you has the same intents. If you are doing 20 mph less than the flow of traffic YOU ARE THE JAM!
@TheJonathanBorichef By that token, every pedestrian should be told to walk down the street wearing blackout goggles, just in case they see your plates.
The camera is positioned with the intent of recording and storing those license plates images.The same can't even remotely be said for the pedestrians walking down the street.
Apparently that OBVIOUS difference needs to be explained to you?
Was it really 'fun' that changed their behavior, or the threat of being ticketed? I also agree with the incentive of money being the reason rather than fun, but I guess winning money is fun.
But doesn't reducing the speed of traffic decrease the traffic capacity of a given road?
Think about it for a minute. You just increased the time a road-space was occupied by 22%. Approaching peak times you just reduced the capacity by a fifth.
Of course, my biggest problem these days involves people not getting up to the speed limit. It annoys me to do 45mph in the center lane of a 60mph Interstate freeway because some idiot in the middle lane can't hear my horn.
Too bad it's poorly trained, selfish drivers that are the root cause of accidents. Speeding is simply a symptom. It's great that they have a giant flashing green/red light beside the street for every car passing to focus on.
It's a clever idea, but a more clever one would be to do away with these blatant road-hazard extortion devices masquerading as 'safety' cameras. We all know they cause more accidents than they prevent.
Great to bring the speeders down, but I saw numbers as low as 12 km/h show up there. If you're only doing 12 in a 30 zone, you don't deserve the money either.

@Chicharrero91 I'm agree, my comment said something like yours. So I think that people should not value the money they earn by going slowly, but you should value the lives that do not threaten.

This is like a reverse-tragedy-of-the-commons...
(People slow down to win, but as more people try to win, chances and payout go further and further down, decreasing the incentive.)
Still a great idea though, as half of it is psychological, and it's also less likely the public will feel bitter about the radar checkpoints when most of the time (when passing through at normal speeds), they actually have positive feelings about their presence :)

That works because the people think that it's a radar! XD

@RandomnessUK if the money motivates them to stop speeding, once the money is gone (because no speeding tickets are being paid) those people will speed once more, and people will be "killed on the streets" again. Come to think of it this system (if it works as intended) is doomed to be a paradox.

Nice how they didn't show anybody winning that "jackpot" part of the lottery. Yet another money grab.
Also, 25 km/h is absurdly slow, our side streets in an extremely busy neighbourhood with houses flanking both sides is 50 km/h.

These people didn't slow down because they thought it would lead to cash. They slowed down because The Man was watching and was going to give them a citation.

@westborn
congrats, wow you must be really smart to find out that one. You know it's a number that indicates how fast were MOST cars passing, yes there have been ones with 36 and some with 28, but they are the extreme cases, MOST cars were passing with 30-34 that gives an average of 32. Now these numbers may changed to 34-26, and 28-32 which means MOST cars are now 2km/h slower. How is that different from what I said?
zerge83 1 year ago
@zerge83
If you're going to be this defensive, at least try to be right. The average doesn't tell you at all how fast MOST cars were driving. It would be 32 even if 600 cars were going 28 and 400 were going 38, but in this extreme scenario NONE were going 32. Your new example is still an average, if very conditioned (28-36km/h, no slowing traffic, no real speeders...), not like you first statement 'omg 32 in a 30 zone', implying NOBODY was even speeding all that much. That's how it's different.

The statistics are strong with this one. It certainly can't be the fact that people are driving slower because they are being monitored and being cited for speeding (a loss). It must be the reward (a gain). Prospect theory and lurking variables?

Mrthestyle1 1 year ago
@Mrthestyle1 I know. But driving too slow isn't practical, that's what I meant. ESPECIALLY where there's a lot of cars. Traffic jams because EVERYONE WANTS THE BIG PRIZE. It introduces more problems than it solves.
I hate new pseudo-science people thinking "progressively" about how they'll change the world. Wanna change something? Give guys 10 years of prison per km/h over the speed limit. That would teach them a lesson.
dgnmwn 1 year ago
@dgnmwn you've got a good point, it is true, but i dont think that something like punishing people that way (of course i kno that ten years is a joke, but im talking about people paying) because they go over the speed limit, a good solution would be posting their pics on a big add on the street ''people that aparently need to go faster that the other'' all week and every week it changes, they would never do that again >:)

I have experienced a similar project that issued citations for running a red light, regardless if the light was actually just yellow after you passed it. Thus, people would have to slam on their breaks the instant they see yellow. While the rates of people running red lights significantly decreased after installation of the program, the number of rear end collisions rose. Controlling speed is only purposeful if you are trying to reduce speed related accidents. Where is that statistic?

@TheDragonAlan In some areas there are Minimum Speed limits as well.
If you are impeding the flow you are a problem. Just because you don't have anything to do but feed the cat and collect Hummels doesn't mean that line of cars behind you has the same intents. If you are doing 20 mph less than the flow of traffic YOU ARE THE JAM!

The camera is positioned with the intent of recording and storing those license plates images.The same can't even remotely be said for the pedestrians walking down the street.

Was it really 'fun' that changed their behavior, or the threat of being ticketed? I also agree with the incentive of money being the reason rather than fun, but I guess winning money is fun.
dekisui 1 year ago
But doesn't reducing the speed of traffic decrease the traffic capacity of a given road?
Think about it for a minute. You just increased the time a road-space was occupied by 22%. Approaching peak times you just reduced the capacity by a fifth.
Of course, my biggest problem these days involves people not getting up to the speed limit. It annoys me to do 45mph in the center lane of a 60mph Interstate freeway because some idiot in the middle lane can't hear my horn.

Too bad it's poorly trained, selfish drivers that are the root cause of accidents. Speeding is simply a symptom. It's great that they have a giant flashing green/red light beside the street for every car passing to focus on.
