Yea to ksu499! "Platform" is not a verb. I suppose Alpert can think he's on the cutting edge of language reform by using it, but personally, I think it make him sound like a doofus.

The southbound Glebe Rd light is already out of sync with the left turn light off northbound Glebe onto Fairfax. That's not the problem. It is 1) the existence of another light a mere one block away on Fairfax (400-500 feet) and then, 2) the onramp to 66. These things are really only a problem in the AM rush.

JB's argument that "if you don't want a ticket, don't run the red" is sickeningly similar to the "if you've got nothing to hide, then why do you object to policemen searching you" argument. I recognize that an ounce of prevention is worth a .... but I'd rather not have faceless, automated devices enforcing the law. The prevention should come at the driver's education and driver's licensing step. I see far too many drivers that really shouldn't have licenses in the first place, given that they are 1) a menace to themselves and society, and 2) apparently unfamiliar with driving practice. And why is it that traffic enforcement seems mostly to be done by the use of traps? Speed traps. HOV traps. No left turn traps. Newly installed stop sign traps. What about patrolling?
