Cuomo wants speed cameras in Long Island school zones

Eyewitness News
ALBANY, N.Y. (WABC) -- Governor Andrew Cuomo is working to keep school zones safe from speeding drivers on Long Island.

The governor is asking Long Island lawmakers to approve requests to install speed cameras near schools.

The requests come from school districts in both Nassau and Suffolk Counties.

Right now under current county laws, drivers can only be ticketed for speeding in a school zone if stopped by an actual officer.

no excuse for idiots who speed through zones where children are liable to be crossing. If this will help deter such stupid and wilfully reckless conduct I'm all for it/.
