2. Apparently NY has had them for a while already...

I don't know very many facts about them but having them around schools seems to makes sense for kids safety. It also seems like ATM it's only a NYC, not statewide, thing. Here's the snippet from the article (bolding mine)...

Right now, the only thing keeping more than 100 speed cameras on outside of New York City schools is an emergency executive order signed by Cuomo in August. That move came after the state Senate adjourned without passing either a bill passed by the Assembly that would have increased the number of cameras, nor a Republican bill that would have extended the program. Democrats can cut Republicans out of the decision-making process if they control the Senate and perhaps expand the program, as the New York City Council would like . But, rather than expend political energy on the issue at the expense of other issues, they could theoretically just let the status quo continue with the state of emergency.
