Speed bump and radar signage installed on Tecumseh street to deter dangerous drivers
Speed bumps and a speed radar trailer were deployed on Arlington Boulevard following a CTV News Windsor story. Speed bumps and a speed radar trailer were deployed on a busy Tecumseh, Ont. street over the weekend. The move by the municipality was in response to a story CTV News Windsor ran last week. Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) stepped up patrols on Arlington Boulevard, focusing on aggressive and dangerous driving. Neighbours were complaining to officers about speeding vehicles, failing to stop at stop signs, and stunt driving. There have been multiple reports of drivers cutting through side streets to avoid road construction on Riverside Drive. Area residents described to CTV News Windsor a road rage incident on the street in question that landed a neighbour in hospital in critical condition with a brain bleed. The town is asking drivers to follow the posted detour – Tecumseh and Manning Road – not the adjacent streets.

Sweden's Arctic Railway Prepares for a More Militarized Future
Linda Bjurholt had just gotten Swedish mining giant LKAB's trains back up and running after a costly derailment north of the Arctic Circle when she got a call from her company's traffic control center. There had been another accident in the area, the second in less than three months. It would be almost two weeks before trains could resume their travel along Malmbanan, or the Iron Ore Line, between the world's biggest underground iron ore mine and the export port on the coast of Norway. Her first thoughts were of sabotage.

Jakarta volunteers hit the road to sweep away sneaky nail traps
JAKARTA, Indonesia — Clad in reflective vests and waving traffic control sticks, a spirited crew on a main road in central Jakarta cheerfully waved to people as they cleared hidden hazards with iron bars and circle magnets tied to ropes. The volunteer team covered half a kilometer (0.3 miles) and scooped up a haul of sharp metal including nails, threaded bolts and scraps of umbrella frames during what they considered a good Saturday morning's work making the streets of Indonesia's capital safer from 'nail traps.'

Why Hong Kong is China's undisputed hub for global finance, at Shanghai's expense
When Yan Jun was looking around last year for a stock market to raise capital for his Beijing-based traffic-control software company, the engineer and chairman thought he was spoiled for choice. He could sell shares of his 10-year-old company AICT on one of the three mainland exchanges – Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen – that together make up the world's second-biggest capital market, with a combined value of US$10 trillion, according to Bloomberg data. Or he could raise capital offshore by selling shares in Hong Kong's nearly US$6.2 trillion market , the world's fourth-largest. New York – a welcoming possibility at first – lost its appeal early this year when US President Donald Trump unleashed a new wave of trade hostilities and animosity towards Chinese companies. In the end, the choice was clear: Hong Kong won because of its access to 'international capital and strong connectivity to global markets', Yan said. The city, where he earned his doctorate in business administration, would also be the launching pad for his business abroad, he added. AICT's products are used in sensing robots, intelligent traffic systems and autonomous driving. Photo: Handout Yan is not alone. Since the summer of 2024, a series of mainland companies have made similar calculations and turned to Hong Kong's stock exchange for capital infusions.
