San Francisco officials say changes are coming to the 4th and King St. intersection where a 4-year-old girl was hit and killed by a car.

SFMTA says they're taking extra precautions on some of the most problematic intersections to try and make them even safer after deadly pedestrian accidents in San Francisco over the years.

"These cameras will save lives, so there is a feeling of relief actually from folks who have lost their loved ones," said Marta Lindsey, with Walk SF.

The speed camera pilot program is set to end in March 2030.

If you would like to protest your speeding ticket, SFMTA suggest not paying it but says you must submit your claim within 30 days of the "Issue Date" found on your speeding ticket. To file a claim head to this link.
