I think it's more about having an easy "hey look we're doing something" approach to all the people who complain about speeders, red light runners, etc. Which is definitely a problem, don't get me wrong. The main problem is that so many of the scofflaws tend to be the same people who get a parking placard and just park with impunity in bus lanes, in front of hydrants, in parks, etc.

I haven't read the budget book verbatim, but I imagine it's just one source for money, not the end all be all holy grail of closing the hole. Kinda like how the state police were just about everywhere looking for speeders when NY's budget was in the toilet during the Great Recession.

Are school zone speed limits in NY enforceable outside school days and times?

Speed cameras run 24/7 and on weekends in NYC now.

Right, but are school zone speed limits in NY enforceable at all times of the day, not just when school is in session?
And I'm confused. If the cameras are in school zones shouldn't they be enforcing only the school zone speed limit?
