But they do. There's data showing they do. This by someone who I think is less carceral than me and I'm betting does not own shares of Flock.

What you suggest likely works better. But they also take more time, face tougher political hurdles, so there are transition paths to think about too.

Automated speed cameras, which detect and fine speeding motorists, reduced total collisions by around 30% and injuries by around 16%, on average, within 900 feet of intersections in the first 7 months of deployment in New York City. In PNAS: https://ow.ly/CHq550XHyla

Important new paper on the efficacy of NYC's speed-camera program, the largest in the country
When cameras are installed, they issue many violations in the first month, followed by a steep decline in the second month. This suggests that the cameras effectively deter speeding by changing underlying driver behavior rather than relying on sustained revenue extraction.

Do those pesky speed cameras work? New research from me, @astagoff.bsky.social, and @jbenmenachem.com finds they reduce collisions and injuries. Read thread or article for more. DM me for article if you can't scale the paywall.
