Yeah I know these are used for counting vehicles but can they also be used for detecting vehicle speed?
Description: two pneumatic hoses, affixed to a road. They lead to a box that’s locked to a telephone pole. Location is southern California. On a minor artery road.
Doubtful that it’s to survey if a new stop sign is needed since the next street is minor, dead ends into this one and already has a stop sign. The next intersection with another minor artery already has a stop sign.
Extremely doubtful that a traffic light is being considered since there isn’t anywhere near the amount of traffic to justify one.
This is located on a slope. Many cars speed down here. That’s why I’m wondering about speed sensing by this device.
It blew my kond ehen i foind oit that engineers won’t even factor in cars when designing major bridges because they are essentially a rounding error compared to semi-trucks.
The typos started at the precise moment your mind was blown.
Please don’t change them.
Haha, not quite. Was having a drink and smoking a cigar after work. I know i should proofread more since my autocorrect has been absolutely dog shit for the past 6 years, but i just can’t commit to it.
If anyone has a half-decent Android keyboard recommendedation, I’m absolutely down to switch.
Kinda true. Regular cars have an Equivalent Single-Axle Load (ESAL) of 0.0004. Basically, it takes about 9,600 cars to put as much wear on the pavement as one 5-axle Semi.
Similar story for bikes and foot traffic, vs cars IIRC. You can have a staggering number of bikes and foot traffic with very light wear.
