E-mail Print

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that in 2008, 13,000 pedestrians age 14 and younger were struck by cars. In the same year, approximately 11,000 pedalcyclists age 14 and younger were injured in motor vehicle traffic crashes. [1] Children are among the most vulnerable groups that law enforcement officers are charged to serve and protect, yet police departments around the country have struggled to find an effective, lasting solution to keep children safe from fast-moving traffic.

Nah. Just a photograph of the south end of your car heading north. And a ticket in the mail. That is what speeders can expect in Sugar Creek this fall.

Aldermen in the Jackson County community last week unanimously approved installing a Multiple Vehicle Speed Tracking device, or “speeder camera.”

Bluffton Today, 08-29-2010


Editor’s note: The author, Gary Hodges, is the mayor of Ridgeland.

There have been comments coming from across our great state concerning the reasoning and validity behind Ridgeland’s “super speeder” traffic enforcement program.

I think it is appropriate for my constituents as well as the public at large to understand the motivation of our governing body in regards to implementing what will become a very effective traffic safety program.

Results from Speed Cameras

St. Louis County (KSDK) -- Love 'em or hate 'em, photo enforced speed zones are up and running and responsible for thousands of tickets in two St. Louis County communities -- and they're bringing in thousands of dollars in fines.

In Charlack, the cameras have caught about 1,800 speeders along Interstate I-170. And that's generated about $11,000 in fines.

In St. Ann, the cameras have busted more than 6,700 speeders.
There the fines have come to more than $150,000.

St. Ann has their speed cameras in a school zone on Ashby Road in front of Hoech Middle School, and a lot of people in the neighborhood say they are slowing down traffic.

"It's pretty decent ever since they put the camera up," say Danny Randazzo of St. Ann. "Everybody respects that camera."

As for the argument that the cameras are just money makers for cities, St. Ann officials say they are seeing fewer tickets issued as more people become aware of the cameras. And they plan to add more signage to warn drivers to slow down.
