Queens pol pushes city to put speed camera at busy intersection

As reported by the Daily News:

A dangerous Queens intersection near an elementary school may get a lot safer.

State Sen. Jose Peralta (D-East Elmhurst) has asked the city to place a speed camera at Junction Blvd. and Horace Harding Expressway. He co-sponsored a recently passed law to provide 20 speed cameras in various school zones.

The Rego Park intersection is about two blocks from Public School 206, which lost its crossing guard there several years back due to budget cuts, Peralta said.“It will at least slow people down when they realize there’s a camera there,” Peralta said. “We don’t want any kids injured when they’re crossing the street.”
