Removal of the updated speedtrap

Quote:The fact that speed traps are so effective is simply that people don't care at all

They're effective inasmuch as they're fining pretty much everyone, but wonder if it has had the desired effect? As in, has it slowed people down? I believe that's the sole reason you wanted to reintroduce the older style speedtraps.

I think you made a good decision when you decided to change to the auto-laser speedtraps almost 6 years ago. As mentioned in this thread, cops could work together to help bring down the bad guys. I believe gameplay cooperation is something you believe(d) in, and that is a good example.

As well as the cooperation part disappearing, cops also have less to do if numerous speedtraps are auto-fining offenders.

Some suggestions:

• Have auto-laser speedtraps AND auto-fine speedtraps. The latter could be reserved for certain individuals (eg trainers, admins, or a special role) for when they think the server could benefit from it, eg everyone driving nuts. Though I'm not sure if this would ever be effective since you've already acknowledged that people don't care.
• Have increased speeding fines for lasers/auto-lasers. This means the frequency of fines would be less, but offenders (if caught) would be paying more for their speeding.
