‘We’ve got it backwards.’ Cameras are everywhere in Mass. So why can’t they catch speeders? - The Boston Globe Advocates and lawmakers are pushing a collection of proposals that would allow cameras to catch speeding drivers in Massachusetts.

Yes, Massachusetts needs to legalize traffic enforcement cameras. The bills do an excellent job of addressing privacy concerns, the fees are low and go to the car not the driver, as it is license plate based

This law will save lives #AutomateSafeStreetsMass

Sorry to hear that Jack. Massachusetts sadly hasn't legalized either speed cameras or red light cameras so the bus enforcement cameras are our first steps to #AutomateSafeStreetsMass

But I know you've been going through a big backlash in Ontario against safer streets and the dangers of cars 😔

It's time for Massachusetts to #AutomateSafeStreetsMass

These are the bills that would do so. Write your Mass rep/senator!

S.2344 and H.3754: An Act Relative to Traffic Regulation Using Road Safety Cameras

It's time for Massachusetts to legalize speed cameras and #AutomateSafeStreetsMass. We deserve to #ArriveAlive @bikeboston.bsky.social @massbike.bsky.social @walkmass.bsky.social @streetsboston.bsky.social

Even intersections where Right on Red is banned per the sign, drivers don't care. We need to #BanRightOnRed in Boston and #AutomateSafeStreetsMass statewide

Drivers will do whatever they want when there are no consequences and don't care that they risk all of our lives

I don't think it matters how long you wait. Drivers do whatever they want whenever they want, regardless of signals or signs @walkmass.bsky.social @massbike.bsky.social

We can't legalize red light cameras soon enough #AutomateSafeStreetsMass

Been out of the country for a week & returning to driving in Boston has been... unpleasant

Yesterday I saw a new way of running a red light at Circuit Dr where a Jeep driver from the left lane crossed traffic to run the the red no turn arrow. We need red light cameras stat #AutomateSafeStreetsMass

Just saw a classic Boston "left on red" in JP. wtaf is wrong with drivers here?

We need to #AutomateSafeStreetsMass asap

Massachusetts MUST legalize speed cameras and red light cameras. You see this illegal behavior every traffic light and there's been no enforcement for years. We need to return sanity to our roads #AutomateSafeStreetsMass @massgovernor.bsky.social @kimdriscollma.bsky.social @massago.bsky.social

This is the future I want for Massachusetts. Less rampant speeding bc drivers know there's no traffic enforcement. Less crashes, lower insurance rates. LESS CAR DEATH #AutomateSafeStreetsMass @massgovernor.bsky.social @kimdriscollma.bsky.social @massago.bsky.social

Your regular reminder today speed cameras are illegal in Massachusetts and we have no regular enforcement of speed limits or red light running and we all pay the price with our safety #AutomateSafeStreetsMass

It's time for the Massachusetts legislature to FINALLY legalize red light cameras in the Commonwealth #AutomateSafeStreetsMass

So sexy #AutomateSafeStreetsMass @transitmatters.bsky.social

The only thing that will put a dent in this behavior is the Massachusetts Legislature legalizing automated enforcement

Contact your state rep and senator and ask them to support these bills. And follow @massbike.bsky.social for more action alerts #AutomateSafeStreetsMass

There's a bill for that

SD1495 and HD3053: An Act relative to traffic regulation using road safety cameras; Filed by: Senator Brownsberger; Reps Cruz & Owens

#AutomateSafeStreetsMass

I drove 300 miles in rural Virginia, then asked police to send me their public surveillance footage of my car. Here's what I learned. Anyone might wonder how often they are caught on police cameras that operate 24/7. I spent a day driving, and over a month trying to get the answer.

Interesting article about how much data can be accessed through law enforcement licence plate reader cams. And who can access that data!

As Mass starts taking steps toward automated enforcement, we need to have privacy safeguards #AutomateSafeStreetsMass

cardinalnews.org/2025/03/28/i...

Boston must #BanRightOnRed

Of course automated enforcement would be the only thing that would actually enforce drivers breaking the law #AutomateSafeStreetsMass
