San Francisco is progressing towards fully operational high-speed safety cameras at 33 locations, with only 18 currently active. Mayor Daniel Lurie announced plans to have all cameras operational by early June, despite previous delays. SFMTA Director Julie Kirschbaum confirmed that power issues with PG&E were resolved, paving the way for the remaining cameras. Since their installation, the system has issued over 30,000 warning notices, emphasizing behavior change over punishment. The initiative is framed not as a revenue generator but as a commitment to enhancing community safety on the roads.
We issued more than 30,000 warnings in April...more than 900 warnings a day... The idea behind this isn't to collect money from people or to punish them with tickets. It's to ask people to change their behaviors.
We hope and plan to have them all up and running by early June... The delays in my mind are unacceptable. We're working hard to address it and to move with speed on that.
