Starting Monday, speed camera hours are being expanded in New York City.
There are two-thousand speed cameras throughout the city. They had only been allowed to operate six a.m. until 10 p.m. on weekdays but now they will start operating 24-7 year-round including holidays. New York City DOT Commissioner YDanis Rodriguez points out that more than half of traffic deaths occur on weekends and overnight.
“Just because it’s a Sunday doesn’t mean you can drive reckless. Just because it’s two a.m. does not mean the speed limit law does not apply.”
Violators will get a 50 dollar fine in the mail.
