The mayor added: although the installation of speed cameras is not a municipal task, to reduce the number of fatal accidents, it is essential to have more cameras throughout the city. 

"In addition to speed cameras, we are also working to make Budapest a safer place to travel through our crosswalk renovation program, new pedestrian crossings, and protected cycle lanes," he added. 

Karácsony added that the long-term goal is to ensure that no one dies in a traffic accident in Budapest.
