Advocates has issued an Action Alert to members of the Georgia Senate today, calling for them to vote NO on House Bill 225, which would ban speed safety cameras in school zones. Speed safety cameras are verified to deter speeding and its impact and are recommended for adoption by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), among others. A study by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) found that speed safety cameras alone resulted in a 19 percent reduction in the likelihood that a crash caused a fatal or incapacitating injury.
Speed safety cameras should be preserved in school zones to protect children and other vulnerable road users.
