Sitestream Wins Three-Year Contract for ATESD in Hamden, CT
The new enforcement program in the town of Hamden will be one of the first in the state to be activated since legislation was passed in 2023.
BEVERLY, MA, UNITED STATES, April 16, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Sitestream LLC announces its first contract in the neighboring state of Connecticut. The program to be rolled out in the Town of Hamden will be one of the first speed camera and red-light enforcement programs in Connecticut to “go live” since the state passed HB5917 into law, in June of 2023. Sitestream will deliver a turn-key solution, comprised of site analysis and justification, equipment installation, software implementation and ongoing program fulfillment and management. Sitestream is honored to be furnishing Hamden with a full-service program that will address its most critical traffic safety issues, speeding vehicles and red-light runners.
“Nearly one-third of all traffic fatalities are speed-related*, not to mention the personal injury and property damage caused by speeders. Slowing vehicles down is imperative – it will save lives and improve the quality of life for everyone in cities and towns across America, including Hamden. Sitestream is delighted to have been chosen, through the bid process, by Hamden and we look forward to helping them achieve real change in their community” says Andrew Noble, Founder.
It is expected that approximately 25-30 enforcement cameras will be operational in Hamden by late summer of this year. Under guidance by the Connecticut Department of Transportation, camera locations, installations, and signage will be implemented. After a 30-day warning period, citations will commence.

Pedestrians
Be predictable. Follow the rules of the road and obey signs and signals.
Walk on sidewalks whenever available.
If there is no sidewalk, walk facing traffic and as far from traffic as possible.
Keep alert at all times; don’t be distracted by electronic devices that take your eyes (and ears) off the road.
Whenever possible, cross streets at crosswalks or intersections, where drivers expect pedestrians. Look for cars in all directions, including those turning left or right.
If a crosswalk or intersection is not available, locate a well-lit area where you have the best view of traffic. Wait for a gap in traffic that allows enough time to cross safely; continue watching for traffic as you cross.
Never assume a driver sees you. Make eye contact with drivers as they approach to make sure you are seen.
Be visible at all times. Wear bright clothing during the day, and wear reflective materials or use a flashlight at night.
Watch for cars entering or exiting driveways, or backing up in parking lots.
Avoid alcohol and drugs when walking; they impair your abilities and your judgment.
Motorists
Look out for pedestrians everywhere, at all times. Safety is a shared responsibility.
Use extra caution when driving in hard-to-see conditions, such as nighttime or bad weather.
Slow down and be prepared to stop when turning or otherwise entering a crosswalk.
Yield to pedestrians in crosswalks and stop well back from the crosswalk to give other vehicles an opportunity to see the crossing pedestrians so they can stop too.
Never pass vehicles stopped at a crosswalk. There may be people crossing that you can’t see.
Never drive under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.
Follow the speed limit, especially around people on the street.
Follow slower speed limits in school zones and in neighborhoods where children are present.
Be extra cautious when backing up – pedestrians can move into your path.
