Some hope

• “It makes the community safer and is more motivating to walk, especially around schools.” — Desiree T.
• “Good. Capitol is getting ridiculous, so many accidents and even deaths from everyone running red lights.” — @lunaleah
• “It’s great! People need to slow down. What’s the hurry?” — Kristine E.

Some hesitation

• “It’s bittersweet. If it leads to license suspensions for repeat offenders, then great. Otherwise, it’s just a revenue source off the backs of working people.” — D. D.
• “I get tickets from FasTrak every other month because stupid cameras can’t read license plates correctly. So I have to waste my time correcting their mistakes, I could just imagine these dumb things.” — @soupra.mkv
• “Helpful, but too little, too late. Probably better than begging drivers to slow down.” — Shelly G.

Some doubts

• “Too expensive in San Jose as it is. Speeding tickets are just going to be even worse.” — Tammy R.
• “You may think they are doing it for safety when that’s the furthest from the truth, they are doing it for their profits.” — @mrbayarea.realestate
• “It’s not going to improve anything but for the city to have more money to spend on unnecessary things.” — @netteguez
