California Senator Scott Wiener is introducing a new set of bills to make streets safer across the state, including one that would change how you drive.
I’m currently in a rental that reads street signs and keeps the limit on the dash. Very handy for double-checking when you’re suddenly not going the same speed as traffic. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic-sign_recognition
Going 70 down the Interstate when it saw a 15mph sign for a weigh station. Truck started slowing down real quick. It scared the piss out of me, and almost caused a huge pile up.

Fuck that shit.
This is just a failure of road design. Roads should be designed so you don’t even need to see a sign to tell you how fast to go.
How would you do that?

Spend lots of money.
