Vegas has a stable enough climate that those problems would never pop up often enough.

Well since we have ICBC as a monopoly they can stick a RFID chip in every license plate, for people from out of province they can provide a vending machine with a temporary RFID chip sticker. There are only 25 entrances/exists to BC, and when I say 25 I include the Port Angeles ferries and every road in/out of BC. RFID chips are cheap. They can allow for data collection regarding traffic patterns and such, data you could never dream of otherwise. Third parties can develop products such as these parking lights, cities can implement products as well, such as zeroing out a parking meter as soon as a car leaves and starting the time as soon as a car arrives, etc. (just ideas). They would be cheaper and 99.9% efficient. Once the RFID chips are fully rolled out anyone without one (specifically tourists) get fined, 3 fines yo can get towed. Hopefully compliance for out of province visitors would be high.
Issue, privacy.
Well its just a idea, cheap RFID chips like you would put on pallets are cheap and can be read from a good 10 meters, no battery required. Its much easier to implement then our fare gates, and ofcoure much cheaper thanks to ICBC. The only hard part is gettign compliance from out of province visitors, BUT like I said there are only 25 ins/outs of the province so that obviously helps.
Just a idea.
