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.
