I just got on the Alpert petition.

I've had two speed camera tickets in DC. One was a situation like Dave described, on a low-traffic residential road that lended itself to higher speeds. One was on a stretch of the SE freeway. In neither case was I much faster than surrounding traffic, so of course those tickets were really annoying.

But as a pedestrian/cyclist, I see cars blowing through red lights at Dupont Circle all the time (and yes, I see cyclists doing that too). Sooner or later, someone's going to get hit. Maybe the stakes are lower at Dupont, but drivers in DC can be really reckless. I'm willing to put up with more speed cameras to combat that. It would be very nice if they lowered the fines for first-time offenses.
