New York state lawmakers appear to have struck a deal on a bill that will allow New York City to extend its soon-to-expire speed camera program and keep the devices running 24 hours a day.
Night time speeders would be subject to more violations under the new deal.
Adams had initially pushed to make the speed cameras permanent, pointing to them as a potentially life-saving tool aimed at improving traffic safety. He traveled to the state Capitol on Tuesday to push for his legislative agenda, including the three-year extension after lawmakers balked at a permanent one.
Under the 2019 law, the cameras can only operate from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. But under Gounardes’ bill, the cameras will be allowed to operate at all hours. Gounardes, meanwhile, had been pushing for additional measures that would have bolstered the program.for repeat offenders, suspending the registration of any vehicle that was the subject of five speed-camera tickets in two years. But the bill introduced Thursday night stripped those provisions out, opting instead for the simpler three-year extension.
