Where will the cameras go . How will they work . Abc7 News Reporter anser hassan has the story. They held signs telling drivers to slow down. It was part of a vigil on saturday to honor guadalupe berrones mendez. She was killed in september by a speeding driver in oakland. We have no choice. We have to cross these streets so. So lets just make them safer. A new bill signed by governor gavin newsom is attempting to do that with speed cameras. This is fantastic news that Governor Newsom signed. This speed is the number one cause of severe and fatal crashes here in San Francisco and in the state as a whole. And cities need more solutions. Martha lindsey is with the group walk San Francisco, which has been pushing for safer streets. San francisco, oakland and san jose are three of six. California cities that will install speed cameras to catch speeding drivers. The cameras will be installed in high accident areas, school zones and where street racing is popular. New york city and many other cities around the country have shown incredible results with speed cameras, and its changing behavior and that is what needs to happen. People need to drive slower. Its not about giving tickets. Its a Pilot Program that will last several years. Violators will get a ticket in the mail. Fines range from 50 to 500, depending on speed. Its absurd to me that we continue to do the same thing and expect different results.

Other versions of this bill have failed, yet supporters say revisions in this bill do more to address targeting low income residents and privacy. This bill, and i think this is why it got all the way to the governor and was signed has been really carefully crafted in terms of privacy. And it takes a photo of your license plate just like crossing the bay bridge or the Golden Gate Bridge right.
