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.
