Who is Responsible?

Unread post by etcheffects »

Wanted to know who was responsible for the road maintenance of secondary roads? Are all roads the responsibility of each township or town/city? If a road that is well traveled and in dire need of total rebuild as the 'patching' is a temporary fix and experience has shown that the patch will soon loose it's strength and become a pothole again. One road in particular has been used to haul ROCK in tractor-trailers and dump trucks with pup trailers, some looked abit over-weight, as they would crawl up the hill to the drop off location [CN repairing tracks in Eastern Ontario] All of these trucks and other tractor-trailers use the road, that should only be used by mandatory vehicles [Emergency Services-Police/Ambulance/MTO and other larger vehicles like fire and garbage trucks - although there are NO signs stating this [Max. Weight] ... also there are now Speed Limit signs posted .. which might explain 'some' drivers thinking it's a drag strip. Hope to get some answers and insight Until then,

self-testing devices

I have a lot of issues with the idea that speed measuring devices like radar and lidar guns are using computer generated simulations to test themselves that they are working properly. The manufacturer is making a claim that a device can test itself. Where's the proof that it works?
