Which Oakland streets saw the most speed camera warnings?
"Of the 18 locations where 35 cameras have been deployed, the areas with the highest number of speeding vehicles were: Broadway, between 27th and 28th Streets, with 21,001 warnings issued for vehicles using both the southbound and northbound lanes. 73rd Avenue, between Fresno Street and Krause Avenue, with a total of 17,801 warnings, or 457 per day."
"The city sent 140,000 warning letters in the first five weeks of the program for 74,000 unique license plates, the report says. Each plate corresponds to a different vehicle. Of 74,000 vehicles, 47,500 received only one warning, possibly a sign that some drivers learned their lesson and are now driving more slowly."
"The location where cameras clocked the highest average speeds in both directions was Foothill Boulevard between 19th and 20th Avenues, where hundreds of drivers exceeded the 25-mile-per-hour speed limit by 19 mph."
Oakland deployed 35 automated speed cameras across 18 locations beginning in January, initially issuing warning letters to speeding drivers. During the five-week warning period from January 14 through February 21, the cameras issued 140,000 warnings to 74,000 unique vehicles, with approximately 1.5% of all drivers receiving warnings. Broadway between 27th and 28th Streets recorded the highest number of violations with 21,001 warnings, followed by 73rd Avenue with 17,801 warnings. Foothill Boulevard between 19th and 20th Avenues saw drivers exceeding the 25 mph speed limit by an average of 19 mph. Most violations occurred during weekday work hours between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. Starting Sunday, the program transitions from warnings to issuing actual tickets for vehicles traveling 11 mph or faster than posted speed limits.
