Speed Cameras Save Lives, Say NO to Bill 260699

Tell City Council to stand up for safe streets and protect Philadelphia families: Say NO to Bill 260699!

Council Bill 260699 proposes lowering speed camera fines across the board, even reducing penalties for the most extreme cases of reckless driving – people who drive 30+ mph over the limit.

Traffic violence is an epidemic in Philadelphia, claiming roughly 100 lives every year. 

Automated speed cameras save lives – and corridors with them have seen:

• 95% fewer speeding violations
• 21% fewer fatal and serious-injury crashes
• 50% fewer crashes involving people walking

Speeding kills.

Softening these penalties:

• puts families at risk
• strips safety protections from low-income communities of color that are hit hardest by traffic violence
• slashes funding for neighborhood road improvements

We urge City Council to stand up for safe streets and protect Philadelphia families.
