A couple of people have emailed me offlist to ask, "What's a special enforcement zone?" I am not sure ... but I did a google search on "special traffic enforcement zone<http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=special+traffic+enforcement+zone%252C+philadelphia&btnG=Search>." The first document is from The* National Campaign to Stop Red Light Running*<http://stopredlightrunning.com> .
My basic understanding is that it is an area of increased police enforcement and stiffer penalties. Does anyone else really know, I am new to this one ...
