Jalopnik, another automotive blog, posted an interesting article on speed limit enforcement by state, including a nifty graph showing the states issuing the least (and most) tickets.  Washington, D.C. tops the list with 78.5% of tickets per-capita.  Anyone who has ever been to Washington D.C. knows how easy it is to be ticket, not to mention how expensive a ticket can be.  To further compound the matter of the voluminous amount of speeding tickets, Washington D.C. also notably is one of the few places that prohibits passenger vehicles from having radar detectors.

Your local government constructs a stop sign in your neighborhood.  You’re infuriated.  Do you write letters to your town council?  Contact your local traffic engineer and voice your outrage?  Or do you run over the stop sign every morning? One driver in Texas has apparently opted to do the latter. This is the story of the stop sign he hates.

Virginia law provides for “minimum speed limits”, establishing a minimum speed at which all vehicles must travel on certain roads.  For example, on the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel, there is a posted “Maintain 55″ minimum speed limit.  Opinion columnist William Melgaard writes about the failure to enforce this minimum speed limit and the traffic it causes. Should more roads have minimum speed limits to keep traffic moving?
