I will also reserve judgment until I see the data. Oh wait, there is data from traffic studies elsewhere and it may actually increase accidents. But let's just ignore that because one person with no evidence thinks it might help.
As for the argument that Ruderman is anti-science, please see his proposed geothermal anti-fracking (no such thing!) legislation, or set foot in any of his snake oil, er, unproven supplements stores. Among the many touted cure alls, which he himself defended on this site, are selling miracle cure tap water, which uneducated poor people end up buying (legally) on food stamps. It's completely genius (and inherently anti-science) to sell the same tap water anyone can get for free from the county spigots at great cost in stores by pretending, despite all scientific evidence to the contrary, that it is some miraculous medicine. That is one example out of hundreds of unproven and disproven supplements he sells. I am wary of anyone who is so strongly anti-science, and he is no different than a creationist.
