San Jose hopes to follow the example of Oakland and San Francisco, where similar programs have been implemented to address speeding and improve road safety. San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie says dangerous speeding dropped by 84 percent at camera locations during the first 18 months of enforcement in his city. The cameras are intended to identify drivers exceeding speed limits and discourage dangerous behavior on local streets. City officials are hoping the program will help reduce speeding and make San Jose roads safer for drivers, pedestrians and cyclists. The five-year pilot will allow the city to evaluate the cameras’ effectiveness and determine whether automated enforcement should continue beyond the program. Officials have not yet announced when all cameras will be operational.
