A bill to allow ‘speed cameras’ in some cities, including L.A., Long Beach and Glendale, wins a key vote Sacramento.
Cameras that can automatically send tickets to motorists who are speeding moved a big step closer to reaching city streets after the bill that would legalize such ticketing got state Assembly approval in late May by a wide margin.
The bill’s next hearing may be before the Senate Transportation Committee, but that had not yet been scheduled as of Friday, June 9, said Leoda Valenzuela, a spokesperson for Sen. Lena Gonzalez, D-Long Beach, chair of the Senate Transportation Committee. “I believe it is gaining momentum because, unfortunately, we’ve seen such a dramatic increase in deaths from traffic collisions involving speeding,” said Friedman on Friday, June 9.to demonstrate what they believe would be an effective way to reverse the high death rates from traffic collisions, in California, including fatalities of pedestrians and bicyclists.
Speed cameras in 140 other communities are attributed with reducing traffic collisions and resulting fatalities. In Scottsdale, Arizona and Portland, Oregon traffic fatalities have fallen 54% since the cameras were instituted. In Washington D.C, traffic fatalities decreased by 70%.The American Civil Liberties Union wrote a letter to the Assembly Transportation Committee in April opposing the bill.
