We appreciate your curiosity about Strong Towns stance on speed cameras, especially in light of the recent developments in Philadelphia. It's great to hear that the program on Roosevelt Blvd is receiving praise. However, Chuck's skepticism towards speed cameras isn't necessarily about their effectiveness in reducing speed. They can indeed play a role in that.
Our concern is more about the underlying issue of road design. Speed cameras, like Intelligent Speed Assistance technology, are often used as a band-aid solution to a larger problem. If our streets are designed in a way that naturally encourages slower speeds and prioritizes the safety of all users, we wouldn't need to rely on enforcement mechanisms like speed cameras as much.
So, while the success of the program in Philadelphia is encouraging, it doesn't necessarily change my overall perspective. We would be more interested in knowing if there are also efforts being made to improve the design of the streets to make them safer and more human-centered. That's where the real, long-term change happens.
