Dear Editor,

With the booming population in Richmond during the last few years, we all notice the crowded streets, especially during rush hours.

I believe it is time for tougher traffic rules, because we all notice lots of violations every day, everywhere on Richmond’s streets.

For example, I have noticed that two or three vehicles will turn left on a yellow light, instead of one.

I also believe we need random checkpoints to enforce new, tougher rules for driver licences.
