The top 10 speeders in New York City

Why aren’t the human drivers banned from driving, and publicly named and shamed?
Because this data was collected from traffic cameras, which slightly limits the actions that can be taken (notably, because they can’t prove who was behind the wheel there are no points on the license). IMO what you should be asking is why has the NPD not stationed a traffic cop around each of these places specifically to catch these guys.

Nope, all of this data is from school zone speed cameras, which can reliably determine speed and automatically issue tickets. Here’s last year’s report transalt.org/…/yn29thckywv9n0qpsv4jb1ab07nryp

The drivers of the cars listed have been ticketed for tens of thousands of dollars, those citations are public due to NYC’s open data laws, Transportation Alternatives collates and presents it in map form to demonstrate that fines alone do not make streets safe.

That… is what I said yes. Cameras (I said traffic because I include school zone cameras in that category) detected these cars speeding and issued a ticket to the vehicle’s owner, who in these examples is probably the driver, but because the tickets were automatically issued and the cameras can’t reliably identify the driver there are no points on the license.

My bad, I did misread. I thought you meant to imply that fines collected is one of the actions that can’t be taken, you did not.

Regarding human involvement, I trust a camera a lot more than a cop. And NYC already has over 40,000 cops, it’s literally like an army. They don’t care.
