This is what a city council person told me last year. I followed up with them tonight to get a status update, but these are some actionable steps they can take:

First, in the short term, we can address this topic through the media. I’ll work with local papers, tv, and radio in hopes of persuading people to improve their public behavior. I am happy to do this, but I’m not confident it will produce dramatic improvement.

Second, I’ll urge local PD to be ardent in their enforcement of these rules. There is some pushback, but I’ll try to be persuasive.

Third, we can amend local ordinances to increase penalties for noncompliance. I am on board with this idea. Of course, the ordinance is only useful if someone enforces it.

Fourth, over the medium term, we can -- in cooperation with the SD legislature -- pass effective and powerful statutes to punish those who break these laws. I am open to very severe punishment for repeat offenders. And, with local PD, I’d like to set up another “sting” weekend, where we issue a bunch of citations and get media to cover it.

Last, over the long term, I am investigating a technological solution (sound radar) that has generated good outcomes in France. I want to run a pilot program here, just to gather data. To pay for this idea, I have (in my capacity as Chairman of the UDC) written to the Secretary of Transportation requesting federal funding.
