Community traffic safety
See how it works on a street like yours.
Speeding and rolling stop signs are the complaints boards hear most, and the hardest to do anything about. This is a short look at how the problem gets measured, how every case is reviewed by a person, and what your board ends up holding.
Use the arrows, your keyboard, or swipe. About two minutes.
01 — Measure first
Start with what is actually happening.
- Every vehicle that passes is measured — not only the ones that get flagged. That is what makes the number arguable at a board meeting.
- The 85th-percentile speed is the figure traffic engineers use to judge a street. On this one it is 28.8 mph in a 25 zone.
- You also get the worst window of the week, so attention goes where the risk actually is instead of where someone happened to complain.
02 — What the camera sees
A vehicle rolls the stop sign.
The camera records the approach, the stop line and what the vehicle actually did. That clip stays attached to the case from here on, so no one has to take anyone's word for it.
03 — One record, all the evidence
Every flagged vehicle arrives with its proof.
- The clip, the plate, the vehicle, the speed through the zone and how long it stopped — gathered into a single record.
- At this stage nothing has been sent to anyone. It is a record waiting for a person to look at it.
04 — The part most systems skip
It tells you when it is probably wrong.
- Drivers often edge past the painted line to see cross traffic. A camera that measures only the marked box calls that a violation.
- This one measures the stop that happened just outside the zone, says so, and asks the reviewer to check before confirming anything.
- That is the difference between a system that is careful and one that only counts.
05 — A person decides
Nothing goes out on its own.
- Every record is confirmed or dismissed by a reviewer. A notice is never issued automatically.
- Most flagged vehicles never become a notice at all — they are dismissed here, and the dismissal is recorded.
- Residents on file are matched to their vehicles, so the right household is contacted and visitors are handled differently.
06 — What the driver receives
A plain notice, and the same video you saw.
- The notice explains what happened in ordinary language and links to the exact clip the reviewer watched.
- The driver can watch it and respond. Nothing is hidden behind an account or a login.
07 — What your board holds
One page you can defend at a meeting.
- Every vehicle seen, how many were flagged, how many a person dismissed, and what was actually issued.
- The dismissals are shown rather than buried. A board that can say how often the system was told no is a board that can answer its residents.

Want to see this on your street?
We will look at your entrances and roadways, tell you what can be covered with the cameras you already have, and what it would take to cover the rest.
Traffic safety is quoted per site — it depends on how many entrances and roadways you need covered, so there is no single number to quote you here.
