We have various kinds of computer, electronic sensors and frequencies designed in the streets (loop detectors and traffic signals)and in vehicles. Signals could be sent out to cars limiting their speed and not exceeding the speed limit. This would be very applicable on local streets. I'm sure this idea has been out there at one point and died along time ago. It might be time to reconsider...

I've got a way to reduce traffic fatalities that trumps your $99, "Buy It Now", option to traffic safety. The solution to roadway fatalities? Slow cars down. A lot. Critical Mass is very much about making the road safer for everyone (I feel). I'm not talking about highways here - I'm talking about urban streets in commercial or residential areas. Critical Mass, and other rides, help to slow down vehicle speeds and provide a safe means for cyclists to use the public right of way. Your "secret" isn't worth the paper it's printed on! Just slow down the darn cars! Mike Overturfs,
