ever tried to take the bus on Santa Monica blvd during rush hour? it
can take 2 or more hours to get from the beach to La Brea ave. Because
of this, I propose that Santa Monica should become a toll road for
rush hour times, being 7 dollars flat fee pr day. A SpeedPass type
system can be used to enforce this, with sensors in place so nobody
can drive more than a few blocks without being checked. @his should
enable access to businesses from side streets without charge. Traffic
lights should be set to give all minor side streets low priotrity on
traffic flow during this time. Also, when a bus or emergency vehicle
comes by, all lights should go red for the side streets to help make
bus riding/emergency vehicles mpve faster through  the Blvd. I would
go so far as to use railroad style signals for this.
