The vast majority of people getting speed camera tickets only get 1 or 2. Are there a few super speeders who don't modify their behavior? Sure. So additional consequences are needed for the tiny % of recidivist speeders. But, the vast majority - even rich drivers - try to avoid fines.

"$35 Fine for speeding 6-10 mph" I'd call that a small fine.

We don't need decent trains from Seattle to Miami, just like Europe doesn't need (or have!) them from London to Istanbul We need them in the 50-500 mile range.

Midwest is peak case for buildable rail in the us. Lots of medium and large cities. Lots of agricultural land in between. Flat. Also the rights of way are mostly already there.

England is on the high side, density wise. OH's population density is slightly higher than Spain's. The real issue is the density of the *places people are going* - car centric / suburban in OH; dense, walkable therefore, with good transit in Spain.

We use standard gauge like most of Europe, Japan, China, etc. but UA does use the less common (and wider) old Soviet gauge. So do the Baltic and Finland. Our trains are slower because of curves, diesel power, and a bunch of other reasons - but not because of the gauge (TGV uses the same gauge)

NEC trains are pretty full, though I only ever use the northern half. It could use more (and faster, and more reliable) service. Also more NEC spurs (like New Haven - Springfield and Harrisburg Philadelphia)
