Colorado Springs Begins Ticketing With Mobile Speed Cameras After 30-Day Grace Period

Police say the highly marked photo-enforcement cars target school drop-off and pickup times to curb dangerous speeding.

Overview

  • As of Monday morning, CSPD ended the warning phase for its Automated Vehicle Identification System and began issuing fines.
  • The mobile units will operate in four areas: school zones, neighborhoods, construction zones, and roads near parks.
  • Fines are $45 for speeding in neighborhoods or near parks and $85 in school or construction zones.
  • Citations are generated from automated detections and mailed to the address on the vehicle’s registration.
  • CSPD says it adopted the system to improve road safety after seeing similar programs succeed in other Colorado cities, with clear signage posted before enforcement zones.
