Lead foot drivers beware: NYC speed cameras now operate 24/7
https://gothamist.com/news/lead-foot-drivers-beware-nyc-speed-cameras-now-operate-247
“Previously, the cameras only monitored roadways between the hours of 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. on weekdays, though 31 percent of traffic-related deaths in those areas took place when cameras were off, according to the city Department of Transportation.”
(The hours the cameras were OFF was 36% of the time, but only represented 31% of traffic-related deaths. 69% of the deaths took place during the 64% of the time the cameras were ON. Statistically speaking, the roads were 14% safer with the cameras off. But you’re probably thinking, “yeah, but there are fewer cars on the road during the weekend and nights.” OK, how about this next tidbit…)
“Traffic fatalities have been on the rise, with 142 people killed on New York City streets through last Thursday. That represents a 20 percent increase from 2019, the year before the pandemic hit and disrupted normal traffic patterns, according to DOT data.”
(More statistical data shows that traffic cameras have a negative effect on traffic fatalities. 610 of the city’s 750 camera-monitored speed zones were installed in late 2019 and early 2020. Therefore, fatalities have increased since their widespread deployment.)
“Across the city, 2,000 speed cameras monitor 750 school zones. In 2020, speed cameras caught drivers speeding 4,397,375 times, according to the most recent data available, outlined in a DOT report.”
(An average speeding ticket for 10mph over the speed limit in NY is $200. That’s an extra $316M in annual revenue for these 750 speed camera zones.)
