    This assumes you can see and recognize the camera. Driving in sf there’s so many other things you’re watching out for, and the streets/sidewalks have so much other shit going on that you’d be hard pressed to spot the camera.

    Also like someone else mentioned it could increase overall incidents but if those are minor, like getting rear ended, it’s well worth reducing pedestrian fatalities.

    NYC implemented speeding cameras and saw a 94% reduction in speeding and a 14% reduction in injuries and fatalities

      Im Brazil all speed cameras have signs before them, so drivers can know the camera is in front and slow down. They are installed strategically, to slow down drivers before conflict points or pedestrian crossings.
