Lentol pushes for more cameras to catch speeding drivers
Calling Brooklyn “the perfect testing ground for traffic-calming measures,” Assemblyman Joseph Lentol (D-North Brooklyn) is pushing for more cameras to be placed at the borough’s intersections to catch drivers who speed.
As a start, Lentol called for a pilot program to be introduced on McGuinness Boulevard in Greenpoint, which he labeled as one of the most dangerous streets in the city. This program would involve the installation of cameras designed to record speeding cars.
“New traffic-controlling measures must be introduced in New York City to combat the overwhelming amount of speeding that takes place along our thoroughfares every day. As speeding continues and population rises, the likelihood of death increases exponentially,” Lentol said.
