PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- A 2023 report by the Pennsylvania State Transportation Advisory Committee found that speed cameras on Roosevelt Boulevard in Philadelphia have been successful in slowing down reckless drivers.

The Speed Camera Program started as a pilot in June 2020 and installed speed cameras near 10 intersections along the Boulevard. According to that report, automated speed enforcement reduced speeding by 90%, and car crashes dropped 36% along this corridor.

Some Philadelphians want more cameras added on the Boulevard and throughout the city.
