MDOT (that's Missouri) is deploying the same sound canons (LRADS) used to deter pirates from boarding ships and protesters from becoming mobs in work zones to deter speeders. Yep, blasting unsuspecting drivers with over 100 decibels will work just fine.......


Where does the thought process go when deciding this is a good idea? Stole the below from the comments section over on Jalopnik....

DOT employee 1: "We need to find out a way to stop speeders speeding"

DOT employee 2: "How about making the speeding driver panic by blasting a 153 decibel noise at them!?"

DOT employee 1: "Fantastic, they will be so distracted by trying to figure out what the hell is making the noise and where it is coming from, they won't be able to concentrate on speeding anymore! Brilliant thinking Tom!"

Sane DOT employee 3: "Guys maybe this isn't a good idea-"

DOT employee 1: "Clearly you don't share the same vision of safe roads Jim, we're gonna have to let you go"
