In 2013, Golden was a vocal opponent of traffic enforcement cameras. In 2017, he described plans to expand the number of speed cameras near public schools in New York City as "non-starters". While in May 2018, he stated support for legislation that would double the number of speed cameras in New York City, this concession came only after Republican members of the State Senate worked to reduce the number of speed cameras from the proposed 750 to just 290. In June 2018, Golden co-sponsored legislation to eliminate all speed cameras after six months.
