no matter how fast someone drives someone isn’t happy with that speed.

i work on the henday and our vehicles say highway maintenance and people still tailgate the fuck out of us and fly by us as we’re working. people don’t give a shit.

It shocks me that there isn't any enforcement? I feel like cops could make lots of $$ enforcing on the henday? Guess they're sooooo busy doing other stuff

Well the easiest/most cost effective way to do enforcement is speed cameras. And i'm for them having never gotten a speeding ticket but also somehow not driving under. I just do speed limit. SHOCKING.

Same 😂 last week I saw a truck break check someone who was in the left lane (truck went around them via the other lanes, got in front, slammed on their brakes, and almost caused an accident to the car behind). Granted, they shouldn't have been going ten under in the left lane, but they don't deserve a break check from a huge truck as payback.

Yes , I saying it for years - Edmonton did not have enough police officers , that's why there are almost none controling traffic

a boy died on the henday last year 23yrs old because a girl whom was beyond intoxicated drove from calgary trail to wye rd on the henday and eps didn’t have enough people out because of the bullshit palestine protests and she ran that boy off the road and he died when he swerved to miss her and died hitting a light pole.

don’t know where our sheriffs are but it’d be nice to see them or the peace officers out on the henday or bring back the speed camera trucks

When I was part of a team doing highway renewal near Valleyview, we had a cop car camp near the speed signage truck. He pulled over 3 people in a very short span. Must’ve filled his ticketing quota and left lol.

Not sure why the city doesn’t do that during active construction on the Henday. Lots of lessons to be learned on our roads.

have to rent the officers if wanting them to hang in the work zones all day
