San Francisco is implementing speed cameras at 33 intersections, starting Thursday, March 20. For the first two months, drivers will receive warnings, but afterward, fines will be imposed, with amounts reaching up to $500 depending on speed. Critics and supporters of the measure weigh in on its potential impact on both driving behavior and pedestrian safety, citing concerns over speeding and the lack of visible speed limit signs. The SFTMA estimates up to 42,000 citations could be issued daily as a result of the cameras.
'While I'm not a fan since I tend to speed, I do understand with all the pedestrian issues that they've had in the city and people getting hit,' said Marissa Walker, who often drives in San Francisco. She says that knowing the cameras are there will definitely get her to slow down.
The SFTMA estimates they will give out somewhere in the neighborhood of 42,000 citations every day.
A speed camera was installed near his garage and it, along with 32 other speed cameras, was turned on Thursday.
Drivers will get a warning during the first two months of this pilot program and after that, they'll get a $50 fine for going 11 miles per hour or more above the speed limit.
