i was just reading an article about the 401 in Ontario the other day.

Apparently the Auto manufacturing sector in particular calls up the company in charge of traffic / maintenance etc. etc. every time there is a traffic jam or a slow down and gives them shit.

I would assume in Alaska the refineries and mines are run like clockwork as well…

when a delivery or a pick up is delayed due to traffic it costs tens of thousands of dollars in lost production or inventory rationalization costs…

As a result, the motivation for enforcing certain traffic laws, namely impeding traffic, is based on private sector complaints… not safety.

Pretty interesting read.
