New data from the SFMTA shows that the city’s new speed cameras are proving effective at significantly changing driver behavior.
It also shows how out of control speeding has become, with many drivers going way beyond the limit on our streets.

#SlowOurStreets
Neighbors have witnessed frequent dangerous speeding & MANY crashes here over the years, and are excited for new solutions to #SlowOurStreets.
Speed cameras make EVERYONE — and EVERY dog — safer on our streets. Slow down to save lives!
The faster a driver is going, the more likely a crash is — and the more serious the consequences.
Humans are fragile. Slowing down makes everyone safer.
That's what this is about.
#SlowOurStreets #VisionZeroSF
Check out this deep-dive on what's happened where speed limits have been lowered to 20MPH in SF.
While drivers don’t always heed speed limits, lower limits are a crucial layer to #SlowOurStreets, and research shows they are particularly effective in bringing down the most dangerous, outlier speeds.
Read the details of what’s in it at walksf.org/StreetSafetyAct and then sign up to speak in support on Tuesday, July 29 at 2PM at City Hall.
We need every voice possible to show how urgently our leaders MUST do more for traffic safety.

When agencies work together & solutions are applied at scale – and streets are designed with safety as the preeminent goal – Vision Zero WORKS.
We're calling on Mayor Lurie & City leaders to make Vision Zero a success story. Safe streets benefit everyone, every day.
#VisionZeroSF #SlowOurStreets
We’re thrilled about speed cameras – but MANY more solutions are needed to make speeds slow & safe.
Email Mayor Daniel Lurie NOW at walksf.org/safespeeds to commit to these in the City’s next Vision Zero policy + plan.

We are heartbroken for the loss of a 77-year-old woman earlier this month, who was hit on Geneva Avenue.
While we don’t know if speed was a factor in this tragedy, we do know that a speed camera coming to Geneva Avenue will go a long way in protecting lives by slowing down drivers.

When speed cameras turn on in March, it will be a BIG moment for rebooting Vision Zero in San Francisco.
