If ground-based use of tractor beams is feasible, they could be used to enforce speed limits in certain geographical locations such as schools. They could be used to prevent people from running red lights. Of course that second scenario means we need a bypass for vehicles that are allowed to run red lights, which just introduces a vulnerability into the system.
With sufficient smarts, a tractor beam system could be set up at a problem intersection to detect imminent vehicle collisions and prevent them or at least minimise their impact.

PS - These are the kinds of thoughts science fiction guides me to.
PPS - I have several more.
