Council Member Chris Banks inquires about the circumstances under which speed cameras are considered as an alternative to speed bumps. DOT officials explain the factors influencing speed camera placement.
- Speed camera placement is primarily determined by proximity to schools.
- DOT considers crash data and speed data when deciding on camera locations.
- Speed cameras are typically not placed on small side streets, which may not be prioritized for this type of intervention.
- The department emphasizes the need for further discussion on specific locations for potential speed camera placement.
