In 2024, New York City saw a significant rise in child and pedestrian fatalities, despite the implementation of speed cameras aimed at improving road safety. A study revealed a 21% increase in pedestrian deaths and a 33% rise in child fatalities compared to 2023. New research from the NYC Department of Transportation highlighted that speed cameras, operational 24/7, have been effective in reducing traffic injuries and fatalities, yet challenges remain in ensuring safety for all road users, especially children.
"Notably, the new data follows a Thursday report from the NYC Department of Transportation (DOT) showing that speed cameras in NYC have helped reduce major crashes."
"Safe street infrastructure, automated enforcement and curbing repeated speeders are key to saving lives, and there's so much more work to do in New York City."
