hoping this catches on, pretty please CA…
i like the fact that the money can only go into maintaining the speed cameras or into making the road safer. those are both things desperately needed, especially in LA.

In 2021, there were 6,100 fatal crashes with a pedestrian, of 120,000 total crashes that resulted in injury or fatality. This is a fatality rate of arout 5%. Rear end crashes had 2900 fatal crashes out of ~3.3 million that resulted in injury or fatality. This is a fatality rate of around 0.08%.

This heavily implies that crashes involving pedestrians are far more dangerous than rear-endings, as common sense would suggest.
So I would definitely exchange one pedestrian incident for several rear endings, as the potential harm is less for each rear-ending than for each pedestrian strike.
