Photo enforcement reign included 1.1 million violations
Staff Report
~ 7/28/2010
On July 15 the statewide highway photo enforcement program came to
an end. During its two-year run, which started in Sept. 2008, 1,105,935
Notice of Violations/Citations, triggered by vehicles going 11 mph
or more over the speed limit, were mailed.
Of that total 432,367 violations were paid at an average violation
of $181.50.
Although the cameras, 42 mobile photo enforcement vehicles and 36
stationary, were shutoff on July 15, Redflex had 120 days to remove
the cameras.
Arizona Department of Public Safety officers remind motorists that
they will utilize all measures available to enforce the posted speed
limits on the federal and state highway systems just as they did prior
to the photo enforcement program. The motoring public should remember
that DPS patrolmen do not have an 11 mph threshold similar to the
photo enforcement system. Any unsafe and unlawful speeds can be cited.
