it can be very lucrative. the much larger district near us generated fines of $4 million for JUST 2 of their schools over the period of 2 consecutive school years. a portion of the funds have been earmarked to pay for more traffic officers to patrol near schools in addition to more than $1.2 million in anticipated construction work requested by neighborhood representatives over the next several years intended to slow speeders, including more prominent crosswalks, larger street signs and bigger medians.
since the laws have been enforced there's been a steady decline in speeding-upwards of 20%. guess those $234 fines are sending a message.
Same here. I work the city transportation department and we are generating so much revenue from the tickets we can't spend it fast enough. I am surprised there are so many speeding tickets as we have narrowed many of the major arterials down to one 10' lane each direction. No passing zones keeps the speeds way down too. They are also adding bike lanes on many of the streets too.
