Speed zones are fine unless they change every two blocks. Hope the money is going to Music and Arts in the schools

I am not a lawyer but I remember reading that if you are denied a FOIL request and you win in court you are entitled to attorneys fees. And its not just the first person that sues. Anyone who wins a case for a FOIL request is entitled to reasonable attorneys fees.

I do not care about speed-zone cameras. You know why? Because I DON"T SPEED IN SCHOOL ZONES. If you choose to then fine, you will be fined. If this upsets you then obey the speed limit and you will not be fined. It's that simple..... Just stop whining about it already people

Bingo.

The speed cameras are a rip off. Mangano and company can't manage county finances so cameras are another source of revenue. Some cameras do not work properly, others are misplaced, and mostly they create problems. Where is the petition? I'll gladly sign to eliminate them.

Carole Wilkinson of Bellmore should drive the speed limit to avoid tickets. That was easy.

Thank you so much for continuing to report on this
story. I find this whole situation confusing. While I totally agree that
drivers must slow down when driving by schools, the way this system is
organized is very perplexing. Some schools have blinking lights showing
driver’s speed, other have neon signs showing the speed limit and others just
have small grey signs that are very difficult to notice. In addition, the speed limits in these zones vary from 15 mph to 30 mph.

This variety poses many questions and concerns for the Long Island driver. First of all, the driver now must constantly scan the side of the road to see if they are entering a reduced speed limit zone. Next, they have to determine the
actual speed limit for this zone. Finally, as they reduce their speed,
sometimes to 15 mph, they have to make sure that the driver behind them is also
slowing down so that they don’t cause an accident.

We constantly talk about distracted drivers who text and make calls while
driving. It is obviously dangerous to take your eyes off the road to communicate in these ways. I contend that all of these different signs and speed limits are creating a new area for distracted driving. Yes, drivers must always know the speed limit, but they also must be aware of pedestrians and other drivers in the area. Right now, most Long Islanders are watching out for speed zones so that they don’t get a ticket. I would have thought that the safety of our school children wouldhave been the first priority. This speed zone policy is not only unfair to drivers, but more importantly, it is placing school children in jeopardy.

You should turn in your drivers license.

Quite frankly this issue really isn't an issue, there is a lot that we as Drivers have to do when driving, Everyone Stop whining about these cameras, follow the speed limit or drive slower or suffer the fines.

Mangano doesn't want to release records under New York State's Freedom of Information Law and Mangano supports Cuomo who doesn't support the Moreland Commission's job of rooting out corruption, nuff said, VOTE CUOMO OUT!!!

Cut to the chase: taxpayers in Nassau County have been lied to repeatedly about this program and the dishonesty continues unabated. This is not just a Republican issue; this is not just a Democratic issue. Mangano and the entire county legislature have lost all credibility.
