Speed Cameras Coming to Pima County

Pima County supervisors voted 3-2 January 6th, 2009 in favor of a one-year trial of radar speed enforcement cameras. The contract calls for 10 fixed cameras and 10 mobile cameras in vans to be placed at the county's discretion, with operation to begin April 13, 2009. The first seven days of operation would be a grace period during which the cameras would yield only warnings. Starting April 20, 2009 the cameras will issue citations with the cost of a ticket a minimum of $216.25 ($183 fine for 11-15 over, plus an automation fee of $18.50 and photo enforcement fee of $14.75).

Current locations for fixed cameras:

The remaing cameras will be active on May 1, 2009 and start sending citations May 8th.

Photo Radar Speed and Red Light Enforcement RSS

The City of Tucson has implemented a traffic intersection safety program which uses automated cameras to enforce speed and red light violations at various locations. The purpose is to improve public safety in the community. The Radar Van Deployment schedule is subject to change.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Photo Enforcement program are available at the Tucson Police Department website.

Red-light Cameras

Starting October 29, 2007, citations will be mailed to drivers suspected of running the red light at East Grant Road and Tanque Verde Road. Additional intersections will get red-light cameras installed shortly. Along with catching red light runners, the cameras catch speeders and those not wearing seat belts.
