Summary
Suffolk's speed and red-light cameras have cut citations sharply — by 50-90% at many locations — which the chief says proves driver behavior is changing. New state law requires camera money go into a dedicated fund for safety projects like sidewalks, crosswalks, and lighting, and an ordinance establishing that fund went to the consent agenda.

Impact analysis
Camera revenue — roughly 75-80% of which comes from non-residents — will now sit in a dedicated fund for safety projects instead of being mixed with road maintenance money.
Drivers, pedestrians, students, and construction workers all get safer roads, and the money drivers pay funds safety fixes right here in Suffolk.
