Ticket cameras

This was on Crypto Gram this week. Lot's of trouble with letting computers be charged with enforcing laws.

AI and Microdirectives

[2023.07.21] Imagine a future in which AIs automatically interpret—and enforce—laws.

In the news today. Speed and red light cameras in California.
If they can get the law passed. I hope they don't.

City of New Orleans to Reactivate School Zone, Traffic Safety Cameras Beginning August 1

I think I heard the state of Arizona got rid of their speed cameras on the freeways in Phoenix, mainly.

Is that true? Are there no speed cameras in AZ?

I think I heard that some cities, Glendale comes to mind, still have red light cameras. But not speed cameras.

Is that all correct?

Visited Long Island last month, and heading home I ended up on Linden Blvd in Brooklyn. Yesterday I got a School Zone Speeding Ticket in the mail. I looked at the location on Google Maps, and I don't see a school anywhere near the spot. Am I missing something?

Blocking the bus lane while waiting for someone or quickly popping in to grab a mobile order will soon be a costly mistake in D.C.

The District Department of Transportation announced that beginning July 24, cameras designed to catch bus lane and bus zone violators will go live.

Quoted from WTOP today - Drivers who speed near four schools in Alexandria, Virginia can now expect to receive a ticket in the mail.

The four schools are Ferdinand T. Day Elementary and John Adams Elementary schools, on North Beauregard St., George Washington Middle on Mount Vernon Ave., and Francis Hammond Middle, on Seminary Rd.

In a pilot program by NY State DOT, 30 work zone speed cameras have been deployed in New York State beginning April 2023. Fines are $50 for the first offense, $75 for the second, and $100 for the third.

Edit: A ticket is mailed if the work zone speed limit is exceeded by 10 mph.

The cameras will operate on limited-access highways as well as state highways that are high-speed.

Hi, just checking in. To keep me current on this site after downloading updated cameras. Nice spring is in the air out as I did my walk today.

I'm generally for stop arm cams.

In my state, PA, a conviction of not stopping for a school bus reds is a mandatory suspension (at least it was).

Today, as my son's bus was coming, it's reds were on and the stop arm was out.

This caused multiple clusters of cars to stop along its way.

Heard this on the radio yesterday and found on their web site.

The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors in Virginia approved a speed camera pilot program.
The new six-month program will allow police to place speed cameras in school and work zones.

This seems a rare successful case fighting speed camera..

I could not find any article on the web about this, but I was listening to the radio the other night and there was a story about a woman being killed in Queens by a garbage truck which was stolen. The stolen garbage truck crashed into two cars and sandwiched the woman between the two cars.

Is it legal to make a left turn at a green light with the green left turn light off when there is no oncoming traffic coming? Do I have to wait for the green left arrow to make my left turn? I always wondered about this. It would seem logical that I can make the left turn with the green light if there are no traffic signs stating otherwise.

There is clearly a Photo Enforced sign, and a RLC, in Phila., at 52nd and Lancaster. I can find nothing about it.

It's not on the PPA website, nor is it in any local news saying it's new etc.
