Automated speeding tickets (Union, Adams, Freedom: living, price, law)

[sam007]

Guys - has anybody seen this and are they giving out tickets even if you are 1mph over speed limit? On the LIE, I see plenty of drivers going way past 50, are all of them getting these tickets between main st & kissena?

I do not know about the LIE but my friends and relatives in Queens have told me that all the speed cameras make driving in Queens somewhere between a hassle all the way to a living nightmare. You have to be constantly look at your speedometer in a way that is different from most other places.

Someone mentioned Union Turnpike in particular as annoying, but I am sure it is widespread across the borough.

I guess it matters where you live or whether you drive often or not. If you are one of those people who usually takes public transit, then you probably think speed cameras are good because they slow down traffic. But if you live in Queens, Staten Island or outer parts of Brooklyn and the Bronx, and you drive alot, you probably hate the cameras.

we went from watching the road to watching our speedometers in the areas with cameras …great safety move

[sirtiger]

does that mean there is less angry drivers in NY?

Adams needs the money from anywhere and anyone he can extract it from.

article mentions the only enforcement is in work zones so far. I pass one on the Sag Parkway here on LI, and there is a warning sign. The radar was mounted atop a small white SUV

More traffic jams. Efficiency > speed limit. NY is never about efficiency, it's all about money grab.

The price of light deflecting material has just skyrocketed.............( sarcasm )

And does that help reduce the number of $50 bills you receive from NYC …

Thank Your governor

New Law "Quietly Passed in 2021" to allow highway cameras. Isn't it always nice when government does things quietly?

Some of the First cameras will be on Queens Highways on the LIE

Oh and these are the first ones, in 10 years every highway will have them.
