Residents Concerned Speed Camera in Wrong Place to Stop Speeders

Video report from ABC7 News at 6 (October 31, 2018)

  • “While we celebrate the community-wide effort that made today’s dedication possible, we must never forget, not for even a moment, the lives lost and lives forever changed because of the crashes on this highway,” said Rev. Dr.  Robert Screen, Chairperson of the 210 Safety Committee. “As a man of faith, I look at today’s camera dedication this way. It is a sentinel for enforcement, a reminder of our mortality and an inspiring hope for the future.”
  • “The lives of the many people who have died in crashes on Indian Head Highway have not been in vain,” said Ron Weiss, Vice President, Indian Head Highway Area Action Council (IHHAAC). “The south county community is partnering with our government to transform the ‘Highway of Death’ into the ‘Highway of Life.’ Together, we are improving the roadway, driving safer cars, and now we are learning to improve our driving through enforcement and education. We will model better driving decisions to our children and they will remind us when we fall short. Kind and responsible driving will get everyone home safely.” 
  • A local bill is planned to provide flexibility in the camera location within "safety corridors".
