I can't see a problem with imposing fines on drivers who violate traffic safety laws. The speed limit is the speed limit. A red light means stop. These things haven't changed since people got their driver's licenses.

If the Metro general manager, Paul Wiedefeld, says those extra hours for maintenance are necessary to help fix the system and make it safer, then that gets top priority.

As our eyes age, they have a tougher and tougher time adjusting to rapid changes in lighting, and we need to be aware of this.

I'm surprised when I see someone doing the logical, commonsense thing: Walk facing the oncoming traffic.

Some people make a separate argument about the red light cameras. They say it just changes the type of crash that's most likely to occur at an intersection.

I don't see any possible excuse for any driver anywhere to endanger people.

I don't like the midnight closing on weekends. It's one thing to tell people they have to drive to Jiffy Lube Live in the outer suburbs.
