Long Island’s Southern State Parkway has been called “Blood Alley” for the number of serious and deadly accidents on the road, but there may be changes coming that could fix that
Solages introduced the bill recently. The cameras could automatically ticket drivers for speeding — part of Solages' desire to change driver behavior and save lives.
"I’m open to modifications and limitations, I just want to start a conversation about how to make the Southern State a safer road," she said.Two people were killed and four others rushed to nearby hospitals after two cars collided Thanksgiving night on Long Island. It may be a direct effect of over usage. Marc Herbst of the Long Island Contractors Association said the Southern State Parkway was never designed for so much traffic.
"It has over 200,000 vehicles a day that travel it, which is more than most of the Long Island Expressway, which most people don’t realize," said Herbst."It’s a bucolic ride in the country — that’s what it was designed for. But when you’re rushing to get from A to B, it’s no longer a fun ride as it was intended to be."
It may not be an easy thing to get people on board with the plan for speed cameras, however. When Nassau County launched a speed camera program near schools in 2014, it was repealed after public outcry.
