Road Crime - Sharing the road with criminals

[zzontar]

Okay, well let's assume that there was one car per 30 seconds (a safe number) throughout the duration of the roadblock.

Sure. Try and minimize crime by car volume and express it as an estimated percentage.

How about this....

In 28 hours there were 150 people caught operating against the law. That's 5 people an hour doing something illegal - one every 12 minutes on a rural highway in the middle of nowhere.

Using your estimimated volume and applying that to the average weekday Bennett Bridge traffic of 54,099 cars a day (2010).

In 28 hours there would be 2400 people operating against the law. That's 80 people an hour doing something illegal or more than 1 person a minute.

Now that's sharing the road with criminals.

You can probably safely cut that number in half seeing as most people that go over the bridge usually head back the other way as well so would be counted twice.

Will you take 1/3? All through traffic must go over the bridge unless they take Westside Road.
