From March 2019 to Feb. 28, 2021, two years before the 6-10 mph ticketing, there were nearly 1,800 incapacitating injury or fatal crashes within 250 meters of a speed camera. From March 2021 to Feb. 28, 2023, the two years after the 6-10 mph rule went into effect, there were about 1,900 incapacitating injury or fatal crashes within 250 meters of a camera. Revenue from tickets during those same time period grew from $77 million to $185,200,000.
