"California Considers Speed Cameras to Curb Rising Pedestrian Fatalities"

California may soon allow the installation of speed cameras on a trial basis in select cities, as pedestrian deaths continue to rise. The bill, currently on Governor Gavin Newsom's desk, aims to address the spike in pedestrian fatalities by implementing speed cameras, which have been credited with reducing speeding in other states. If signed, California would join 205 communities in 21 states that already use speed cameras. Supporters of the bill, including families of victims, argue that speed cameras can save lives, while opponents raise concerns about privacy and equity.
