Safety advocates and some state leaders have been down this road before but are hoping the third try will be the charm.

hoping this catches on, pretty please CA…

i like the fact that the money can only go into maintaining the speed cameras or into making the road safer. those are both things desperately needed, especially in LA.

    i have good news because its not set at the speed limit but 11 over, so you only get the ticket for recklessly speeding. maybe the speed limits get lowered so people arent driving 55 next to sidewalks. is that really such a big deal?

      These sorts of devices give the government a perverse incentive to set speed limits unreasonably low—50 on a freeway, for example—in order to generate revenue through what amounts to highway robbery.

      You are fortunate to live in a jurisdiction where the government is not so crooked, but realize that many jurisdictions are not like yours.

      I can’t really say I’ve ever seen that happening, but I don’t live in LA. Where I live the limits are all between 20 and 30. 55 is pretty crazy. Pretty sure our freeways don’t even have limits higher than that.
