"With the full new network of cameras now snapping pictures of vehicles exceeding the speed limit, we have a new block where the largest number of speeders is being nabbed. The Chronicle sifted through SF Municipal Transit Agency (SFMTA) data, and found that the largest number of camera-issued speeding tickets is coming from Third and Bryant streets, or rather, the block of Bryant between Second and Third streets."
"That data is from August, the (nearly) first full month that the cameras were all operating. And that month showed that the Third and Bryant streets block generated 4,000 speeding tickets for the month, or about 130 speeding tickets . That one block alone accounted for nearly 25% of all speeding tickets issued systemwide by all 56 speed enforcement cameras. SFMTA analysts were not surprised."
San Francisco deployed 56 automated speed-enforcement cameras, all active as of August 5, after an initial rollout in March and partial data in April. In August the highest single-camera ticket volume occurred on Bryant Street between Second and Third streets near the Fourth Street/I‑80 exit, generating about 4,000 citations that month — roughly 130 tickets per day and nearly 25% of systemwide citations. Many drivers enter that one-way, four-lane stretch from the I‑80 exit where the limit drops quickly to 25 MPH. Average recorded speeds there were about 39 MPH, roughly 14 MPH over the limit; first offenses at that level receive warnings.
