In communities across Ohio, the use of speed safety cameras not only helps deter reckless driving, but also has resulted in a decreased number of fatal and non-fatal crashes. ![]() • In Ohio alone, more than 250 people are killed in speeding-related crashes each year. (Ohio Department of Public Safety) • More than 85% of speeding-related fatalities occur on roads that are not interstate highways.
• The Dayton Police Department conducted a study from March 3rd through March 8th and documented over 4,600 incidents of speeding (10 mph over posted limit) at ten intersections. |
