SFMTA data shows speed cameras are working to slow drivers After years of advocacy, SFMTA finished installing and activating speed cameras at locations throughout the city earlier this year. In August, the agency finally started using them to issue fines instead of just warnings. And now, at long last, the data is in: they work as intended. From an SFMTA release: Before installing our cameras, the SFMTA measured the speed of San Francisco drivers at all 33 locations in our automated speed enforcement network. We now have post-installation speed measurements for 15 of those locations. This adds an extra layer of monitoring and analysis for driving behavior and can work as a backup while we implement this new pilot technology.
The improvements that we're looking to do on Flatbush Avenue is to redesign the street in a way that's going to prioritize buses," said Riders Alliance senior organizer Jolyse Race.
