费城东北高中外测速摄像头进入警告期,超速11英里以上起罚100美元

宾夕法尼亚州费城县费城市消息,10月26日刊出的报道称,费城东北高中外科特曼大道上的学区测速摄像头已投入运行,目前处于警告期。据费城停车管理局介绍,这处摄像头于10月5日开始运行,警告期持续至12月4日,期间超速只发警告、不开罚单。警告期结束后,超速罚款从100美元起,超速11英里以上的罚款在100美元至150美元之间,违章不记入驾照扣分。报道援引当地电视台的消息称,摄像头只在上下学时段学区闪光灯亮起时运行。费城停车管理局代理执行主任加布·罗伯茨表示,学区测速摄像头的目的是保护学生上下学途中的安全,改变危险驾驶行为。市政府表示,选点依据是严重伤亡、行人事故与超速数据较高的路段,东北高中由此成为费城又一处学区测速点。此前费城已有约翰·斯特森中学等多处学区摄像头投入运行,市议会去年4月通过的法案授权在东北高中等学区设点,整个计划是州法授权的试点项目。
Speed Cameras Outside Philadelphia's Northeast High School Enter Warning Period; Fines Start at $100 for Speeding 11 mph or More Over the Limit
Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania — A report published on October 26 said that school-zone speed cameras on Cottman Avenue outside Northeast High School in Philadelphia are now in operation and currently in a warning period. According to the Philadelphia Parking Authority, the cameras began operating on October 5, and the warning period runs through December 4, during which speeding will draw warnings only, not tickets. After the warning period ends, speeding fines start at $100, with fines of $100 to $150 for speeding 11 mph or more over the limit, and violations will not add points to a driver's license. The report, citing a local television station, said the cameras operate only during school arrival and dismissal hours when the school-zone flashing lights are on. Gabe Roberts, acting executive director of the Philadelphia Parking Authority, said the purpose of school-zone speed cameras is to protect students on their way to and from school and to change dangerous driving behavior. The city said site selection was based on road segments with high numbers of serious injuries and deaths, pedestrian crashes and speeding, making Northeast High School another school-zone camera location in Philadelphia. The city already has cameras in operation at several school zones, including John Stetson Middle School; legislation passed by the City Council in April last year authorized cameras at school zones such as Northeast High School, and the whole program is a pilot authorized by state law.
