Join us for a speed survey on Fulton Street on October 17

LIMITED SPACE, RSVP NOW

San Francisco’s speed camera program is proving a powerful solution for changing driver behavior and saving lives.

A year into the program, the share of drivers speeding 10 MPH or more is down nearly 80% across camera locations. About two-thirds of drivers who have received a warning or citation did not get another one.

Walk SF and the Bay Area chapter of Families for Safe Streets worked for eight years to pass the state law allowing San Francisco and five other California cities to pilot speed cameras.

Now, we’re looking toward what’s next: new state legislation that would allow more speed cameras in San Francisco and also let cities that want speed cameras to pilot them, too. But we want to understand more about an important question.

How much does a speed camera affect a driver’s behavior beyond right at the camera location?

We’re hosting a speed survey to dig into this more – and you’re invited to join us!

When: Saturday, October 17 from 9:00AM-12:00PM

Where: We’ll meetup near Fulton and Clayton Streets (exact location to be shared with participants). We’ll then head to different locations on Fulton Street, which has speed cameras at Arguello/2nd and 42nd/43rd, to do speed surveys.

Who: Anyone who wants to win more solutions to address dangerous speeding!

You Will:

• Learn about different types of speed-slowing solutions
• Collect data on driver speeds along Fulton Street in small groups
• Meet some of the folks who helped pass AB 645, the speed camera law
• Hear from neighbors who live near the Fulton Street speed cameras

Things to Know:

• This event includes walking and standing for the majority of the time, so keep this in mind before signing up.
• Please be prepared to buy your fare to ride the 5-Fulton bus.
• We’ll provide coffee, donuts, drinks, and snacks to power you!
