[quote=Anonymous]I believe that Congress passed a law that forbids Park Police from installing speed cameras, so this is unlikely.

According to the Park Police, they are installing cameras to assist in accident investigations. However, I am sure there are dual purposes, e.g. surveillance, etc.

“ Roadways closed due to serious vehicle collisions often cause severe traffic delays and frustration to motorists who are either trapped on a roadway or forced to divert onto unfamiliar routes. To address this issue, the United States Park Police are implementing new technology called photogrammetry, which will enable us to open roadways as quickly as possible without sacrificing the quality of the investigation. This technology will allow us to document serious vehicle collisions in a more thorough and timely manner. Photogrammetry is a software program that uses a calibrated digital camera and numbered markers to create three-dimensional scale diagrams.”
