NMA New York Alert: Sign Online Petition Against NYC Speed Cameras

Earlier this month we alerted you to legislation that would install 40 speed cameras throughout New York City.

In response to that, a group opposed to the proposal has started an online petition to stop the cameras. We encourage all New York members to sign the petition. Also pass this on to friends and family so they can sign as well.

Remember, speed cameras have nothing to do with public safety and everything to do with generating revenue on the backs of motorists. Properly established and posted speed limits coupled with fair enforcement promote compliance, not cameras. (Learn more about the NMA’s objections to speed cameras.)

NMA Pennsylvania Alert: Speed Cameras Proposed for Work Zones

Pennsylvania continues to target motorists for revenue generation. As part of a plan to fill a 10-year, $7.2 billion transportation funding gap, lawmakers have proposed the installation of speed cameras in work zones.
 
Senate Bill 1326 and House Bill 2101 would authorize the cameras and are currently under review in their respective transportation committees.
 
The NMA opposes photo enforcement of any kind. Speed cameras have proven to be unreliable and are an ineffective way to enforce speed limits. They put revenue generation ahead of public safety, to the detriment of motorists’ rights. (Learn more about the NMA’s objections to speed cameras.)
 
We urge you to contact committee members as well as your local Senate and House members to let them know what you think. Traffic enforcement throughout Pennsylvania is already oppressive without the addition of work-zone speed cameras, which will have no positive impact on safety.
