Basin Bridge and Camera Tickets

To the point:
Can't wait to get my doors blasted off by all the vehicles with no/temporary plates.
And yet again, no mention of the biggest problem: semis using the left lane to elephant race other semis.
quote:
Senate President Page Cortez did the simple math. The bridge is 18 miles long. If a driver travels the posted speed limit of 60 mph then it should take that driver 18 minutes to cross the bridge. Not a minute sooner.
“If it took you 14 minutes (to cross the bridge), you were going 80-something miles per hour and you didn’t stop at any of the exits,” said Cortez in this Louisiana Radio Network article.
quote:
Cortez's bill would mean that drivers who cross the bridge in less than 18 minutes could receive a speeding ticket in the mail, basing the ticket on how fast it takes a vehicle to get from one end of the bridge to the other instead of the miles per hour the vehicle was traveling.

Why not just do this between every exit on the interstate?

Does this do away with the 4 figure ticket price if caught speeding?
And I'll haul arse across that bridge and drop my truck in park in the right lane to make up for the time difference.

Per article:

The answer is double the current fine for speeding on the bridge.
Now, speeding drivers would get two warnings and a fine on the third violation. These fines would range for $175 to $500.

I hope someone sticks a camera up his arse.

And if it takes an hour to go over the bridge because a bird sneezed and they had to close a lane can I send a bill for my time to the Louisiana legislature?
Posted on 4/27/22 at 9:54 am to Cajun367
and i'll do the same thing with that ticket that i do with the stupid arse red light camera tickets in BR and the dumbass camera speeding ticket in Zachary/Baker. Throw it in the garbage. and not a damn thing will ever come of it.

It is unconstitutional as it deprives a citizen of due process. Politicians are idiots.

if only the state had some type of law enforcement agency that could monitor the highways and byways and enforce the existing laws we have for this.
Ole Page should propose legislation that establishes such an entity.
fricking idiot.

you'll get a threatening letter form a law firm in Texas that tells you you better pay or else.

They're too busy beating people on the shoulders to care about speedsters

Anyone here ever get a "plane" ticket going across the causeway?

Sounds like he wants the system they had decades ago on the NJ Turnpike.
When you exited and paid your toll it automatically calculated your speed based on elapsed time resulting in a ticket if the tollbooth attendant was a dick and alerted the State Police who were always waiting right by the exits.
French toll highways used to use the same method

Many toll roads do this. There's a timestamp and the booth you entered at printed on the ticket or their computers ping your fast pass and record the information. When you get off, if you didn't spend enough time on the tollroad to get from where you came from without speeding, they ping you.
