The idea that speed cameras are used to raise revenue is a myth.

  • NYC speed cameras issued $220 million in fines in 2023.

  • New York City's total budget is $112.4 billion.

220 million / 112 billion = 0.001964

Speed cameras make up 0.19% of New York's total revenue.

The reason they are used instead of cops is that unlike traffic cops:

  • They don't require healthcare and training
  • They don't shoot people
  • They don't go on strike
  • They don't take bribes
