Yeah, I've seen plenty of unmanned police cars...drivers don't know the difference unless they pay attention day in day out. They always slow down.

It works.

In certain cities here, there's stickers on the gas pumps of cops who died on the side of the road just like construction workers.

It's a serious problem and ticketing a few people isn't going to make it go away anytime soon. That's just for money.

Injure or kill a construction worker in MI and it could mean up to 15 years in prison. Otherwise, traffic fines are doubled in work zones, and you never know if one of those guys is a construction worker or a police officer with a radar device....
