As 成人X站 Newsradio traffic reporter Chris Sullivan reported yesterday, The Seattle and Portland Transportation departments have kicked off a campaign to persuade drivers to slow down on city streets.

And they don鈥檛 want to come across as all heavy-handed and authoritarian so the motto they adopted is 鈥淪low The Flock Down鈥� as a way to get through to the expletive-obsessed millennial generation.

The new logo goes all-in on this little pun, featuring a flock of yellow birds flying past a 25-mile-per-hour speed limit sign. (Since they鈥檙e using birds, I鈥檓 surprised no one suggested 鈥淪low the Cluck Down.鈥�)

Anyway, I know the idea is to educate, not punish 鈥� but I just don鈥檛 think the lighthearted approach is going to work.

It certainly doesn鈥檛 work on the freeways, where I still see drivers trying to achieve escape velocity.

If $6 gas doesn鈥檛 lighten the American foot, sanitized swear words probably won鈥檛 either.

And if you can鈥檛 get drivers to stay below 65 how do expect to keep them below 25? Speed bumps every ten feet?

I鈥檝e told the story before 鈥� all it took for me was a $200 photo ticket for going 5 miles over in a school zone 鈥� and now when I see the words 鈥淪chool Zone鈥� I go so slow the other drivers probably wonder why I don鈥檛 just get out and push the car to the next block. But the magical part is: since everybody else聽also聽wants to avoid that fine, there is no one riding my tail. I think they鈥檙e actually grateful.

Punishment works by putting everyone on the same side.

I realize you can鈥檛 expect the city to spend money on thousands of speed cameras.

But I鈥檒l bet you could crowd-source it. I live near a school with a number of young males eager to see how fast daddy鈥檚 car can go when 3:00 rolls around. I鈥檇 go on Amazon right now and buy my own certified, police-approved speed cam if such a thing existed. Can鈥檛 find one.

But imagine 鈥� if anybody could set up a hidden speed cam that shows the driver, the license plate, and their speed, and uploads it to a city website in real-time.

Oh, the shame! And if shame doesn鈥檛 work 鈥� then after three public postings, an automatic $200 fine.

I know a lot of you are saying 鈥淒ave, what the flock?鈥� But if the goal here is zero injuries 鈥� I say no more clucking around.
