Interviews and photos by Brooke Hoffman
“They should put one on [Columbus] Boulevard, there are more accidents there.”
Wendell Thompson,
Ninth Street and Oregon Avenue
“People blow the light [at Oregon Avenue and Broad Street] all the time. I think because nobody talks about it, no one knows about it.”
Desiree Ravicci,
13th and Morris streets
“If you’re a speeder, you’re a speeder.”

“These cameras will generate income to support it's ability to be used for security for the city, i'm sure it's networked into some large database for big bro. Wish they had this more in Point Breeze and Shoot.”

“These cameras work well and pay themselves off in no time with the violators they catch. They deter reckless driving and are efficient and fair in providing evidence tot the violation. I hope they dont become too fimiliar though, just in areas of high violation or accidents.”

“Slows some of the speeders but has become a hazard with people hesitant in crossing in fear of being captured on cam and ticketed; therefore submitting the unattentive or impatient person behind to crash into the overly cautious driver.”
