Traffic safety advocates hail automated speed cameras in SF 1 year into 5-year pilot

SUPPORTERS OF AUTOMATED speed cameras in San Francisco marked one year on Wednesday since dozens of the devices were installed there, which advocates credit for reducing speeding and traffic collisions. 

Mayor Daniel Lurie, District 6 Supervisor Matt Dorsey, representatives from the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency, and two community street safety organizations celebrated what they said was an 80% reduction in speeders going more than 10 mph over the limit where the cameras are located, many of which are in the South of Market neighborhood.
