Overview
- San Francisco's speed camera pilot program has recorded more than 1,000 speeding violations per day, with over 31,000 warnings issued in April alone.
- Nearly half of all April warnings originated from cameras on Fulton Street, a high-risk corridor near Golden Gate Park, highlighting a significant speeding hotspot.
- Morning rush hour, particularly on Tuesdays between 7 and 8 a.m., has been identified as the peak time for speeding violations across the city.
- Currently, 21 of the 33 designated camera sites are operational, with full activation of the network expected by June 6, followed by a 60-day warning phase before fines are issued.
- The program, part of the Vision Zero initiative, aims to reduce traffic fatalities and reinvest citation revenue into street safety improvements, with equity measures like reduced fines for low-income drivers.
