City set to install more speed cameras
New law allowing expansion takes effect July 11
The new state law allowing the city to install speed cameras in as many as 750 school zones takes effect July 11 and the de Blasio administration is preparing for a massive expansion of the street safety program.
Mayor Bill de Blasio announced on Friday that the Department of Transportation will start installing new cameras at a rate of about 40 per month through the end of this year. The pace of installations will rapidly escalate in 2020, when 60 cameras will be installed per month.
