New York City uses a variety of methods to encourage people to drive at safe speeds, including the installation of speed humps, the narrowing of wide travel lanes, the modification of traffic control signal timing, and the Police Department’s enforcement of the speed limit.
Governor Kathy Hochul signed a law to allow speed cameras in New York City to operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It was explained that the law was signed because 72% of fatalities from car accidents in NYC took place when speed cameras were not operating.
What To Do If You Get a Speed Camera Ticket:
The price for a speed camera violation is fifty dollars. If you receive a ticket from a speed camera in the mail, you must respond to the notice within thirty days. You can pay for your ticket on the Department of Finance’s website or by check mailed to the Department of Finance.
If you do not pay within the 30 days, penalties and interest will be added to your fine and continue to accrue until you pay or dispute. You also risk having your vehicle booted, towed, or even seized if you ignore speed camera violations.
Can I Dispute a Speed Camera Ticket?
If you believe your speed camera ticket was issued in error, it is your right to dispute it. You can dispute your violation online, in person, or by mail. You can also get more information on disputing a speed camera ticket by calling 311 or visiting the Department of Finance’s website here.
