I hope y'all are aware that the city has up to 2 months to deliver that citation by mail to your house.
This is where the the state has become criminally negligent.
Once fines start popping up in the mail by the dozens due to hidden cameras folks will be up in arms.
Doesn't matter if you are 1,2,3,4,or even 5 miles above this ridiculous speed limit of 25 mph.
The city is desperate for a severe revenue windfall and this is the focus of concentration!
To update this thread, I hereby rescind any and all criticism I have for speed cameras. Given the advent of outstanding, user-driven GPS applications like WAZE--which allow people to input speed traps and real time police locations--these speed traps and similar efforts have become useless for those in the know
Seriously, where I live now seems like it has way more speed cameras and speed traps than anywhere in NYC, but I still feel comfortable safely driving above the speed limit as WAZE alerts me to where and when I need to slow it back down some
Hate waze, it's like MTV on steroids - way too busy
Google maps does have the cameras on there now, BUT you have to be on a navigation path for them to appear
But anyone with a brain will use waze or maps to avoid these, it's the morons & low class people that will keep getting dinged, not pay the fines, then end up getting impounded and losing their jobs

the cameras are set for 10 mph over the limit
6am to 10pm monday through friday
"fines for speed-camera violations remain unchanged at $50, issued to those who exceed posted speed limits by more than 10 MPH.
The notices of liability are issued by DOT via mail to the owner of the vehicle – and are adjudicated at the New York City Department of Finance."
"fines for speed-camera violations remain unchanged at $50"
that's actually better than most places, everywhere else tacks on Nazi fees like Long Island:
"To clarify, the fine for a red-light violation statewide is $50, and the late-payment penalty is $25. Both are set by the state.
In Nassau, there’s an additional $55 public-safety fee and a $45 driver-responsibility fee, which brings the total in Nassau to $150, compared with $80 in fines and fees in Suffolk."

You can change your settings on Waze to only be alerted to certain things/have certain things show up on your map. I personally only care about speed traps, red light cameras, and police sightings, though I allow more to show up.
As for Google Maps, I haven't had such luck getting cameras to show up along my route (when I am actually using a navigational path). In any event, even if Maps does have that (and I just don't know how to make appear), I'll stick with Waze for its other features, too!
This is crazy. I got one of these speeding camere light tickets in the mail when i was driving on Utopia Parkway in Whitestone.
I was going to Patsy's pizzeria. Here's the thing that stunned me.
They said i was going 40 miles an hour at 9 PM
What children are in school at 9 PM
This is the biggest scam in history.
Cuomo is no different then these Nigerian scam artists.
Someone told me something interesting. Cuomo didn't put these speed camera lights in Upstate NY.
Why, cause there perceived as poor.
I'm going to complain to Patsy's. I'm going to tell them, you better tell your local officials to take away these speed camera's or i'm never going to Patsy's again. These speed camera's are going to hurt all these business on Utopia parkway cause people aren't going to go to them.
