    Those speed cameras are nothing more than a money grab by the government. If they're going to be used at all, they should only be on when the yellow lights are flashing.

    "Tallahassee has earned national recognition as a 2025 All-America City:" ................ We are only into 2025 6 Months. Shouldn't this Award be given in early 2026?

    I do NOT support the ALL DAY Speed Cameras. Only when the Yellow Lights are Flashing.
