News summary

Pittsburgh is moving forward with legislation to introduce automatic red light cameras at dangerous intersections, with hopes to reduce traffic-related fatalities, which rose significantly between 2018 and 2022. This initiative, supported by local leaders, aims to enhance safety rather than generate revenue, as fines will be capped at $100 and municipalities are restricted on revenue collection. Meanwhile, Fairfax County is evaluating the success of its existing school zone speed camera program, which has reportedly decreased speeding by up to 27% in certain areas, and plans to expand the number of cameras from 10 to 60. Additionally, Arlington is implementing new speed humps near schools to further slow down traffic, following positive outcomes from a pilot program that reduced vehicle speeds considerably. These measures reflect a broader commitment across various jurisdictions to enhance road safety for both pedestrians and drivers, particularly in school zones and high-crash areas.
