The purpose behind those mysterious black cables on the road

If you ever see black cables stretching across the road, you had better know what it means. I had no clue… Check comments.

While on the road, chances are you have spotted the black cables on the road.

However, although they are common and perfectly safe to run over, most people don’t have a clue about their purpose.

These rubber cables, that are stretched across the road, serve the purpose of gathering data about the traffic. So how do they work? When a vehicle crosses over them, it causes pressure which is recorded and transmitted to a counting device.

This information assists transportation agencies in keeping track of traffic flow, vehicle speeds, and volume, which is essential for urban planning, road maintenance, and safety upgrades, ultimately affecting the decisions on traffic management, road expansions, and the positioning of traffic signals or speed limits.

Rubber cables are often positioned in low-visibility areas to avoid drawing attention and to minimize any interference with traffic. This approach guarantees that the collected data is as precise as possible, representing typical traffic conditions without the effects of altered driving behavior.

Video Shows Elementary School Principal Aggressively Paddling 6-Year-Old Student

A disturbing video has surfaced that depicts a southwest Florida elementary school principal and a clerk scolding a six-year-old kid for allegedly scratching a computer screen.

The mother of the child, who went to the school to pay a fine for the harm her daughter was alleged to have caused, took pictures of the occurrence. The mother stated that she feared no one would believe her account, so she recorded the incident.

Although Florida law doesn’t specifically prevent it, corporal punishment is prohibited according to the district handbook. The mother of the child said that the paddling was harsh and horrifying, possibly causing bodily as well as psychological damage.

Concerning the harshness of the sentence, the family’s lawyer described it as “aggravated battery.” In order to document the injuries, the mother has taken her daughter to the doctor.

Outrage and demands for justice have been generated by the incident, and it is hoped that the school district will take the proper action.
