1. Those pedestrian crosswalks are (according to google) 1/4th of a mile up the hill from the camera. This camera cannot and does not affect driving speed a fourth of a mile away as people slow down right before the camera (after they've passed those crosswalks), or speed up right after it coming up the hill.

2. The RCP bike path is UNDERNEATH this grade seperated interchange, not on top of it. Driving speed on the overpass has zero affect or consequence on what people are doing on the multiuse path beneath it. Even when the Klingle bike path is built out, people will be biking underneath the bridge to get to the other side, not on top of it.

As I said, there are no pedestrian cross walks on that bridge, one side doesn't even have a sidewalk and there is one house within ~100 yards that fronts another street. This camera is all about revenue which is fine, but the city is just shoveling piles of BS at people claiming these things have anything to do with safety.
