Philadelphia Begins Issuing Broad Street Speed Camera Fines

Officials say the program targets safety by building on early speed reductions.

Overview

  • The 60-day warning period ended Friday, with citations now sent to drivers going at least 11 mph over the 25 mph limit.
  • Fines are $100 for 11–19 mph over, $125 for 20–29 over, and $150 for 30 mph or more over the limit.
  • Thirty-one cameras placed at 15 intersections span Broad Street from Broad and Pattison to Old York Road near Cheltenham Avenue.
  • Most of Broad Street is 25 mph, with a 35 mph zone near the stadium complex; enforcement thresholds remain set at 11 mph over.
  • The PPA reports a 30% drop in speeding during the grace period, citing Roosevelt Boulevard’s results that include fewer severe crashes and steep declines in tickets, as residents voice both support and skepticism about effectiveness and fairness.
