The Metropolitan Transportation Authority Board of Directors approved a controversial plan to install cameras that would automatically send speeding tickets.
On Tuesday afternoon, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority Board of Directors approved a controversial plan to install cameras that would automatically send tickets to speeding drivers, and it's probably not surprising that not everyone agrees with it.The idea is to put 33 automated cameras around San Francisco in places that are determined to be of either high risk, or chronic violation. The most speed-violated road in the City is Harrison between 4th and 5th streets.
SF resident Alexis Jimenez said she trusts the instincts of the average city driver and thinks the cameras would be more appropriate on the freeways.'On streets like this I think it shouldn't be. It's just too much control. Too much unnecessary fining,' said Jimenez. 'I think everyone in the Bay Area generally, as a driver myself, knows what the limitations are, when to speed, when to not speed. So, I think policing that is unnecessary.
