Final Week of Speeding Ticket Amnesty: Time to Fix HTX’s Roads

Got overdue Houston speeding tickets? Through Saturday, you can pay them off at a discount, and without getting arrested. But the municipal courts’ amnesty program raises a deeper question: Why do so many Houstonians speed? And how can we make our roads safer? Joe Cutrufo, of Bike Houston, says that our biggest problem isn’t a lack of police enforcement. It’s that Houston’s roads are designed badly — in ways that lead us to drive faster than the the legal limit. Want more information?
