Drivers in three Bay Area cities could soon get tickets in the mail for speeding.
A new law signed by Governor Gavin Newsom allows the use of speed cameras to track drivers who are driving over the speed limit.
"We have to cross these streets. So, let's just make them safer," says Jacqueline Lee, Mendez's niece who took part in the vigil."This is fantastic news that Governor Newsom signed this. Speed is the number one cause of severe and fatal crashes in San Francisco, and the state as whole. And we need more solutions," says Marta Lindsey, with the group Walk San Francisco, which has been pushing for safer streets.
Violators will get a ticket in the mail. Fines range from $50 to $500, depending on speed. The bill states that tickets won't impact a driver's insurance rates or driving record.
