Your thought on Revenue being a deciding factor makes the most sense. I had to google it and came across this. Apparently Denver generates 23 million dollars per year in these tickets for no front license plate.
Front license plates: Are they really necessary? |
That 23 million is from our one toll road... We don't have toll-booths, just cameras, and they scan the front/rear plates to mail you the bill at the end of the month.
A lot of folks hate E470 because of the tolls; I love it because it's 75 and well maintained... That 23 million makes for some amazing asphalt.
The rest of Denver Metro's roads look like something out of WWII London... We drive a lot of Jeeps here, but not because of the mountains...
