Meanwhile the city is using speed cameras to enforce the 50 mph limit on 295, certainly improving the quality of life of all the people use that interstate highway to jog, walk their dogs, ride their bikes, and let their kids play kickball in the street.

This weekend they positioned a speed camera car at the end of a row of busses on Maine Ave SW just before the USDA office. Never mind that nearly all of the buses were idling in clear violation of DC law, the police don't care about that. You see, enforcing laws on commercial vehicles takes time and requires officers to learn a whole new set of regulations (local and federal DOT). Its much easier to sit an officer in a car and let the camera click away all afternoon.

How about this for a deal. The MPD can only activate the speed camera mounted on the weigh station on 295 on days in which the weigh station is actually open and being used to enforce commercial vehicle regulations.
