Are speed cameras in effect in NYC?

On August 1, 2022, the City of New York will begin issuing speed camera violations 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, year-round. The City will operate speed cameras in 750 school speed zones. Expanding the speed camera law is one aspect of the City's comprehensive plan to eliminate traffic deaths and serious injuries.
