Speed cameras save lives
Speeding continues to be the #1 cause of severe and fatal traffic crashes in San Francisco. The faster a driver is going, the more likely a crash is – and the deadlier the consequences.
Over 100 cities in the United States have already embraced speed cameras with great success, including Portland, Washington D.C., New York City, and Seattle. Speed cameras can reduce the number of severe and fatal crashes by as much as 51%.
That’s why with the support of our members, Walk San Francisco worked together with traffic victims for more than six years to pass state legislation allowing lifesaving speed cameras to be legal in California. On October 23, 2023, Governor Newsom signed Assembly Bill 645 allowing San Francisco and five other cities to pilot the use of speed cameras.
Speed cameras are now coming to 33 locations in San Francisco – and installation has started. We are thrilled for this hard-won solution to be on our streets!
