Ticket cameras

The City of Minneapolis is looking at doing this.

Do you have them in your area? Do they solve the problems?

A pilot program approved in 2024 would also be implemented in Mendota Heights.

I live in Chicago, and I’ve noticed that recently on the red light cameras page that in the past 3 weeks there have been Illinois changes. I tried comparing the new files to some old ones on my Garmin to figure out what camera(s) were added, but I can’t find any new ones. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

Anyone know where they are being installed?

I am not sure if anyone near me has it--I was curious if Lower Merion does, or not.

I wanted to know how it works, because the activation of yellow, and red, is by a human (my point is when flashing yellow, there is zero way to know when they will go red, unlike a traffic signal, 1 sec per 10 mph of speed limit).

There is no fixed warning.

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..
