Massachusetts Eyes Speed Cameras for Safer Roads | Boston News
Description
Massachusetts is poised to roll out speed cameras in school zones, safety zones, and near construction sites—marking a major shift in traffic safety. Drivers caught 11 mph over the limit face $25–$100 fines, part of a broader economic development bill. While not mandatory, the plan includes privacy safeguards like no facial recognition and automatic deletion of license plate images post-case. Advocates hail it as a “game changer” to protect vulnerable communities and ease police workload, especially as traffic deaths rise nationwide. Boston could get around 135 cameras under the one-per-5,000-residents cap—excluding red-light cameras. The goal? Safer roads, not revenue.
