Good Idea or Too Orwellian?

[Darryn]

What do you think of this idea...

 

 

 

Operators monitoring Auckland's road network often target individual vehicles and stop them by manually switching traffic lights to red.

But operators at the Joint Traffic Operations Centre (JTOC) in Auckland will only take this action if a driver is clearly drunk, JTOC control room manager David Murphy said.

"It's amazing how long a drunk driver will stop at a red light, but they usually fall asleep within about 10 minutes," he said.

haha +1

 

I like how they get a drunk off the road. Wonder if it'll work in our busy roads though.

Don't think feasible...

 

Some don't even stop at red light.

 

Maybe to get the msg across....

 

Those driving drunkard will be ban for life and have the vehicle cheong Kong hehehe

recently i began to think that our SG junctions shd be manually managed.

 

sometimes you have to wait very long for the lights to turn green when no vehicle crossing.

 

and we can have men operating thru cameras.

 

a lot more productive,and it create jobs.

 

custom-made for SG's traffic conditions.

 

if nonsense i won't suggest this.

whether it will work on our busy road or not is besides the point.

the question should be, will our SPF or TP be soo koot lat or not?

or is this gonna be another outsourced service if it is implemented locally?
