Speed cameras around the New York City metropolitan area will be set to operate Monday for 24 hours a day and seven days a week.

This will take effect at 10 p.m. in each of the city's five boroughs.

Mayor Eric Adams' office posted on Twitter Sunday a reminder to New Yorkers about the change. It also tweeted in part that anybody who drives more than 10 mph over the speed limit will be issued a violation, which includes a $50 fine.

The Department of Transportation calls the city's speed camera program "highly effective" when allowed to operate.

Speed cameras used to only operate during the week from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.

The DOT says that pedestrians who are struck by a vehicle at higher than 30 mph are twice as likely to die than pedestrians who are struck at just 25 mph.

News 12 spoke to some residents in Canarsie Sunday night and some said that they don't want the change implemented.

On resident called it "a money grab" because there are not that many motorists driving at night, especially in areas where there is no traffic.

According to Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine, there is a 14% reduction in traffic crash injuries on the streets where speed cameras operate. He says having them operate everyday around the clock will hopefully help reduce the number injuries and deaths.
