Roadside safety advocates are raising concerns that Flock Safety surveillance cameras may not meet highway safety standards and could create hazards for drivers on narrow rural roads.
Beyond privacy concerns about AI-powered license plate readers, safety groups now claim the physical placement of Flock cameras poses crash risks. The devices are mounted on metal poles installed along roadways, potentially creating obstacles in areas with limited space.
Experts argue that some camera installations fail to comply with established highway safety guidelines designed to minimize roadside hazards. On narrow two-lane roads, especially in rural areas, the poles could present dangers during accidents or emergency maneuvers.
Flock Safety has faced ongoing criticism for its surveillance capabilities and civil liberties implications. This new safety dimension adds another layer to the scrutiny facing the company's deployment practices.
Roadside safety advocates are calling for stricter regulations on camera placement to ensure installations meet federal highway safety standards before deployment. The issue highlights the need for comprehensive safety reviews when introducing new roadside infrastructure.
