Mayor Adams calls on Albany for local control of traffic laws, including red light and speed cameras.
Adams wants the Legislature to allow the city to set speed limits and to control speed cameras and red light cameras. Under current law, those cameras can only be active from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. "This beautiful young child, 18 years old, because someone decided to speed at 3 in the morning -- when we had to, by law, turn off the camera, as though people stop speeding after school hours," the mayor said.
The current camera program expires this year. The city says speeding violations have been reduced by 72% when cameras are active.
