They aren't going to do it.

Cell phone distraction while driving should carry the same penalty as DUI.

Violations that slow or impede the flow of traffic should be considered top priority in cities with traffic problems like BR.

Cruisers in the left lane, cell phone users not paying attention, people that don't stay on the correct side of the median when turning between a blvd, etc.

City builds the coffers, the traffic improves and hopefully the culture changes. Win/win.

“The texting gap” of Every car being 5 car lengths back of the car in front of them is one of the main reason traffic so is bad in this town. Not as many people make lights, backs up further than it should, traffic into intersections in many cases because 12 cars are taking up the room of 60.

It’s insane, don’t notice it as much other places either. Some of the gaps are 8-10 car lengths sometime, I usually pull up next to these people and give them the “wtf are you doing??!” Look as they stare mindlessly into their phones

If you are at the front of the line, it is your civic duty to fricking pay attention to the light.

The problem with Baton Rouge traffic is that people are never issued tickets for “blocking the box.” I will routinely sit through multiple light cycles that only let 2-3 cars go due to people blocking the intersection. Check out Perkins @ Essen or bluebonnet at rush

It's a fricking epidemic in Houston. Why don't people want to get where they're going?

I quit messing with mobile devices in the car, just a pain in the arse. I have gone back to reading books while I drive. Sometimes at stop lights I just get into a groove and cannot put the book down.
