One promising fix is AB 645, a bill I joint-authored last year. This legislation authorizes the use of speed cameras in six California cities, including San Francisco, focusing on school and other designated low-speed areas based on their danger to pedestrians and others. This provides an opportunity to slow drivers down in our highest-need areas.
I championed AB 645 because speed safety systems hold great potential. They have been used for years in other major cities throughout the country, including New York City, and they have helped restore pedestrians' right to walk across streets without fear of traffic violence. In fact, 2023 was the Big Apple's safest year for pedestrians.
