My Traffic Memo

I wrote a memo to College Administators explaining traffic problems outside of LaGuardia Community College and other high schools on Thompson Avenue. I addressed that if we do not take care of these traffic problem then there will be even more accidents like the one that led to the death of a young teenage high school student. One of the methods I explained was placing speed cameras along Thompson avenue to catch any cars speeding or running red lights without slowing down traffic with things such as a speed bump or extra traffic light: I learned about these speed cameras from my parents whom have encountered them on their normal routes to and from work: 

 "Security cameras can be placed to catch people that run red lights and the thought of them being present will cause most drivers to slow down at a yellow light to avoid passing through a red. A police cruiser can be placed on each active corner near traffic lights and the sight of these officers alone will cause most drivers to slow down and obey traffic regulations. These two methods alone can reduce traffic but it may still not be enough. A new traffic technology has been invented and it may be extremely useful to our cause. Speed cameras that check the speed of every car that passes and takes pictures of the cars that violate speed regulations have been invented to help regulate traffic."

I greatly enjoyed writing this memo since it reflects my own ideas and I was able to share them with others as well. The writing I do in this English class is extremely similar to the journal writing I do in my spare time.This engineering writing class has influenced me enough to actually enjoy my writing and enjoy English as a whole. I hope to continue blogging even after I have finished taking this class.
