-- Starting Monday, speed cameras throughout New York City will begin operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week.Currently, speed cameras are not legally allowed to operate during overnight hours or on the weekends. But starting Monday at 10 p.m. that's going to change.The Department of Transportation says the goal of the speed camera program is to eliminate traffic deaths and serious injuries, which is why cameras throughout 750 school speed zones will now operate all day every day.
The DOT reports that through December 2020, speeding at fixed-camera locations had fallen by an average of 72 percent and total injuries dropped 14 percent, although more than one-third of all non-highway traffic deaths took place in areas with cameras but during times they were not allowed to operate -- 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.
"It's a good idea because I've seen a lot of accidents happen everywhere, so I feel like this is the perfect time to activate this," Upper Manhattan driver Moustapha Bah said.
