Has Orange County come up with a new way to catch speeders? or is it entrapment?

An Orange County sheriffs deputy, dressed as a leprechaun was seen on the roadside warning speeding drivers to slow down. A laser speed gun clocked cars above his sign read “Watch your speed or it will cost you your pot of gold.”

Deputies on motorcycles pulled over many of the lead footed motorists who didn’t ease off the gas peddle after reading the warning. Apparently deputies were writing one ticket each minute.

Some drivers complained of entrapment but Richard Lockman, AKA deputy leprechaun says “the elf didn’t force anybody to speed.”

I guess leprechauns aren’t always good luck now are they?

Now this is odd, Hans Monderman, a Dutch transportation planner is pushing his innovative plans for improving traffic.

Would you like to know what proprosals he’s made? Glad you asked. His proposals include eliminating traffic signs and street markings, which he thinks will force drivers to be careful as they hunt for their destinations, and building children’s playgrounds in median strips of roads, figuring that drivers would surely slow down.

Hans - you haven’t been taking your medications have you? Kids playing in the medians? No traffic signs? Hello? People have a hard enough time driving and not getting into problems with traffic signs. Plus- what wouldn’t that confuse tourists and out of towners even more?

What do you think of this proprosal?
