    Has anyone else noticed just how useless the traffic enforcers are. They seem to specialize in standing by the side of the road picking their noses and chatting it up other enforcers. I can't imagine who could have trained them if anyone at all. And the hits just keep rolling along. Would be great if they could get some training and then become effective at what they are being paid to do

    I disagree. The traffic flows better when there are no enforcers. I'd guess some of the enforcers believe that also. Maybe they're being lazy at times, I certainly wouldn't blame them for getting tired of standing in the sun and soaking up fumes. Doesn't matter to me if they're being kind enough to stay out of the way, or just lazy. Either way, off the road and ignoring traffic is just how I like them.

    Right on dodong, the telltale sign that a traffic enforcer is at work is the gridlock at the intersection.
    I've seen 2 enforcers, both directing traffic at perpendicular roads leading into an intersection, both directing their traffic lane to cross the intersection at the same time.

    True enough, the traffic moves much better when they are nowhere around. Lately they trained 7 of them as "dancing traffic enforcers". This should be a great improvement. NOT!

    There is an enforcer in Victorias City who would put M. Jackson to shame

    It is hard to direct traffic when nobody obeys anyway.
    If traffic there is anything like it is here, the enforcers are better off staying out of the way.
    We had one killed by a dump truck he was trying to stop just a few months ago.

    Hi Knowdafish.

    That cop would go down well at a rave with his whistle. But if I worked in the office on the corner I might like to run over that cop
