City leaders say 14 school cameras in total have been installed in 10 speed-zones across Buffalo. And on Tuesday, crews began installing flashing beacons, one near Canisius High School on Delaware Avenue and Makowski School on Jefferson Avenue. 

Several more are expected to be installed within the coming days to further alert motorists to slow down before the cameras go live again and catch them speeding. 

Once each zone has all its beacons, city leaders will turn the cameras on. 

Mayor Byron Brown announced last week the grace period for motorists to get used to the process would not be extended, prompting police officers to issue tickets manually to those caught speeding through instead.

City officials have it made it clear there have been no tickets issued to speeding motorists yet generated from the cameras.

Some motorists who were also ticketed along Genesee and Roslyn Streets say they tried telling police a tree is blocking their view of speed limit sign.

City leaders continue to ask for the public's patience and cooperation throughout their overall effort to get motorists to slow down help keep kids safe.

"If by chance somebody is to get hit, the chance of a fatality is much lower at 15 miles an hour than it is at 25, than it is at 30, than it is at 40," said Kevin Helfer, City of Buffalo parking commissioner.

For those who say they didn't know the cameras were there, city leaders say the beacons will serve as a helpful warning for motorists who feel the signs and cameras come upon them too quickly, and don't give them enough time to slow down.
