Cuomo’s executive budget includes money for speed cameras
Brooklyn was focal point in political fight over devices
After all of the noise, protests and controversy — much of it centered in Brooklyn — the long, drawn-out battle over speed cameras appears to be near an end.
This week, Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced that he is including a plan to increase the number of speed cameras in school zones in New York City in his 2019 Executive Budget.
Under his plan, the number of speed cameras would increase to 290 from the current number of 140. In addition, new signage is planned to give drivers fair warning of the presence of the cameras.
