How is that making the roads a safer place? And no, I've never been ticketed there - you can see them from a mile away.
The traffic it creates as everyone slams on their brakes serves no purpose but to generate income. I'd even go as far as arguing it makes the road a more dangerous place due to the resultant increase in aggressive passes leaving the city following the back up.

That's certainly another favorite place that does very little good to improve safety. Going WB I'm not sure how ticketing someone going 90 on a 4 lane divided highway is making things safer. And headed EB they are arguably making the situation more dangerous since they sit just over the crest of the hill and people don't see anything until they crest the hill and see a line of vehicles in front of them slamming on brakes.
