"California Governor Approves Speed Cameras in Bay Area and Beyond"
TL;DR
Governor Gavin Newsom has signed a bill allowing the installation of speed cameras in several Bay Area cities, including San Francisco, Oakland, and San Jose. The cameras will automatically record license plates and issue tickets to drivers caught speeding in school zones and areas with speeding problems. The fines will start at $50 for drivers going at least 11 miles per hour above the posted limit and will increase for higher speeds. This measure aims to address the spike in pedestrian deaths in California.
