Albany Reauthorizes City Speed Camera Program for 5 More Years - Streetsblog New York City
Briefly

New York City's speed camera program, which has been successful for 11 years, has been reauthorized by the state legislature until July 1, 2030. This program, crucial for street safety, has significantly reduced severe traffic injuries by nearly 30% and has shown that speeding at monitored locations has dramatically decreased. Despite some opposition from legislators, advocates emphasize that these cameras save lives and contribute to safer streets for New Yorkers. City officials and advocates are optimistic about the bill's signing by Governor Hochul.
This is possibly the most important street safety law on the books, so having to extend it five years and not having to worry about it every three years is really great news.
The verdict came in a long time ago: speed cameras save lives and make our streets safer for everyone... this is about keeping New Yorkers safe.
