# New types of traffic cameras allowed by the state legislature have the potential to lead to big safety gains in Seattle -- but a potential clash over how those cameras are deployed could be on the horizon. SDOT and transportation chair Rob Saka are not seeing eye to eye.
The city residents are also seemingly forgetting about safety. In the past six months there’s been a car accident on the intersection right by my building about every month from somebody running a red light and colliding.
Cameras have their privacy considerations but I’m getting concerned about my safety as a pedestrian.
