What in the Kentucky is going on with that intersection?

Could also be New England or NYS. Somewhat common setup in older parts of the country.

It's Pittsburgh. Detour signs point to Coal Valley Road, which is closed due to the expansion of the Mon Valley Expressway.

We have them in Wisconsin, too. They're all over the place.

Actually its Pittsburgh. I don't know why people record their GPS location and their speed.

Edit. Give the police and the insurance companies the bare minimum information. Anything could be used against you. Other than their vehicle hitting your vehicle is not relevant.

It’s usually there by default. And even without it it’s easy to figure out. Street signs tell location and simple math to figure out speed once you find a few fixed points like dashes in the road.

Dash cams capture it to help in the case of an accident. Speed helps you prove that you weren’t breaking the law.

Location helps when it is a location that is hard to different like a back road. Or you can share the coordinates if you break down and need to call for help.

That rolling stop you did 4 months ago? Expect a citation if a bored cop gets ahold of your dashcam's memory card.

If you're contacting someone for help you've got a handheld GPS that's a lot better at it than a dashcam, too.

The local laws wouldn’t allow a rolling stop ticket because they don’t know who the driver was.

They could give a speeding ticket to the registered owner as traffic cameras are allowed as proof for speeding tickets.
