【大紀元2022年11月07日訊】(大紀元記者王蘭多倫多報導)多倫多周圍將安裝 25 個新的超速執法攝像頭,但道路安全倡導者警告說,該市不能僅依靠這些設備來實現消除道路交通死亡的目標。
市政府工作人員本週宣布,新攝像機將從2月開始部署在多倫多周圍,他們將提前90天發出通知。在接下來的幾天裡,安裝自動測速攝像頭的地方將豎起標誌,以警告司機將有新攝像頭投入使用。
目前在全市範圍內有50台測速攝像頭,並每月發出數萬張罰單,這是「零交通死亡願景」的一部分。
多倫多市長莊德利一直支持引入更多測速攝像頭,並在市政選舉期間承諾將該市的數量增加一倍以上,達到150個。他說,這25個新攝像頭將於2月份推出,將挽救生命。
「我們知道測速攝像頭是有效的,它正在改變駕駛員的行為並產生積極的社區影響。」莊德利在一份聲明中說。
莊德利表示,「零道路死亡願景計劃」為多倫多街道帶來「大規模轉型」,包括道路重新設計和十字路口的改變、新的中間街區交叉口、1,000 多個行人信號燈、1,100 多個社區安全區以及超過500公里的道路限速降低。
他補充說,全市社區當地道路的限速將最終降低到30公里/小時。
道路倡導者:攝像頭只解決部分問題
「這些攝像頭是一個很好的權宜之計,因為它們確實有效,並且確實改變了駕駛員的行為。」道路安全倡導者傑西卡·斯皮克(Jessica Spieker)說,她在一次交通事故中受了重傷,現在與一個名為「為朋友和家人安全街道」的組織合作。
「當你被魯莽的司機撞到時,對你的生死影響最大的因素是他們的速度。所以速度控制是零死亡願景的核心。」她說。
斯皮克說,多倫多需要增加數百個測速攝像頭,但還必須採取額外措施來加強道路安全。
她說,以前的市議會缺乏政治意願來下令對狹窄的道路進行更全面的重新設計,或增加減速帶和人行橫道等交通穩定措施。
多倫多的零死亡願景計劃於 2017 年開始。兩年後,市府加倍實施該戰略,要求工作人員研究多項措施,包括安裝測速攝像頭、改變道路設計和降低主幹道的限速。
今年早些時候,在 2017 年至 2021 年期間,「零死亡願景」的運營和資本支出總額估計為 2.056 億元。 2022 年的預算包括 6,400 萬元用於擴大執法和學校十字路口警衛計劃。
儘管如此,道路倡導者表示,自該計劃開始以來,死亡人數並沒有太大變化。 2016 年多倫多街頭有 78 人死亡,這是過去十年來的最高水平。總的來說,自 2013 年以來,城市街道上每年約有 60 人死亡。
今年截至 11 月初,多倫多街頭已有 45 人死亡。
