Even Outside Enforcement Zones, Speed Cameras Slow Drivers
ARLINGTON, Va., Feb. 1, 2008 /PRNewswire - USNewswire/ -- The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) is releasing two new evaluations of the effectiveness of speed camera enforcement in Scottsdale, Arizona, and Montgomery County, Maryland.
Before the City of Scottsdale kicked off a pilot speed-camera enforcement program, 15 percent of drivers were traveling faster than 75 mph on sections of a busy urban freeway with a 65 mph posted limit. Once the cameras were in place on Loop 101, the number of violators plunged to 1-2 percent.
What's more, speed violations fell on the same freeway 25 miles outside of the enforcement area. Surveys also indicate that speed cameras garnered the support of local drivers.
