    They must just not know where to look... I still need a job.

  4. Umm, a free market where lobbyists don't bribe the government for protection, and gangsters don't hang dudes that cause problems for their business from a tree in Berlin Park in Florida, yeah, this is how a free market is SUPPOSED to work...

    Actually, if tax hungry asshats would stop using stopped cars as a means to generate capital, we wouldnt have this issue at all...
    Examples of this are as follows...
    1). Event driven streetlights.
            Instead of using the flow of traffic to control the red / green traffic control signals, these single digit IQ bastards think we are stupider than them, and use YOU stopping at every possible red light as a means to generate tax dollars from the pump.
    2). METER ON.
              Metering the traffic entering the freeways ACTUALLY SLOWS DOWN THE FREEWAYS. It doesn't reduce congestion. As people enter the freeway, because they were stopped, now they have to accelerate harder to get up to speed, and because the onramp is shorter, now they will slow the traffic behind them, as they get up to speed, if they can, because all the people in front of them had to play the same BS game...
    3). Police refuse to enforce tailgating laws, and lawmakers refuse to change the tailgating laws to an enforceable wording...
    4). Police refuse to enforce laws regarding impeding traffic.

    All this made possible due to triple taxing californians to drive:
    Gas taxes
    Use taxes on cars per year (everywhere else that humans drive, gas taxes pay for this)
    Earmarking taxes from income taxes for road work (Wasnt this why we paid twice for the right to drive in the first place?)

    The truth is, because they want to spend on average 11 times more for road maintenance than anywhere else in the human occupied universe for things like PAINTING LINES ($94 per mile in California, US Average is $4 per mile), repairing potholes (How many times have the pothole in LA County been paid for, and they are STILL THERE!!!)

    Fire the government, they cannot govern effectively.

    If you fix all of the above issues, then there would be no reason for Waze in California, and no need to send people AWAY from the congestion caused by the broken traffic management systems in the normal thoroughfares.
