hoping this catches on, pretty please CA…
i like the fact that the money can only go into maintaining the speed cameras or into making the road safer. those are both things desperately needed, especially in LA.
Several studies have came out that red light cameras have made driving less safe. I bet speed cameras are the same. We should really do away with stroads in America.
Speed cameras in NYC are extremely effective at reducing speeding.
Legal changes enabled NYC to issue tickets from speed cameras at night and on weekends starting in August of last year. This provided a great natural experiment because they were recording speeding events before and after.

Speeding dropped 40% by March.
Oh, nice. That seems far more useful than red light cameras then. Stroads overall seem to be a problem but I guess this helps slow people down.
Yeah. It’s also a lot easier to put in cameras then rip out a stroad.
