I hope the new administrator can maintain a more civil relationship with the public.

The intersection webcam was prompted by frequent car-sign accidents.

[link] is a FOIA response (actually, a FOIA denial) with details of 10 car-sign incidents in 4 months.

A bit Orwellian for my tastes.

Or the Ann Arbor Arsonist.

Reminds me of walking/driving in Traverse City.

What I have noticed though, is that many pedestrians are freaked out when I stop my car so they can cross. They look confused as I wave them across the crosswalk.

Reference is to the possibility that motorists modify behavior in response to the fact that they know they’re being studied. More here.

Lots of non-compliance when I’ve tried to cross! Maybe we can station some realistic mannequins with clipboards…
