These things are popping up all over the place now that the recovery funds from feds are gone. My city just implemented them and it’s a shitshow.
It’s hard to argue about it because many people are sick of post-Covid driving behavior. Most traffic enforcement ceased during the pandemic and was slow to resume. I made a few trips from upstate to lower Manhattan in under two hours - you could just set the cruise at 95 and go.
In my state, I think it will undercut complete streets and traffic calming in road engineering. One major avenue in my city is being reconstructed, I’m curious as to whether the city will allow the engineering changes to the road that will improve it and cost $750k-$1M of annual ticket revenue.
There’s also the never mentioned surveillance issue. Most devices log 30 days of video and LPR every vehicle.
