Phoenix Sets Feb. 23 Return for 17 Speed Cameras, Citations Start March 25

City leaders frame the program as a Vision Zero safety tool with revenues limited to cost recovery.

Overview

  • The rollout places nine mid-block units on crash-prone corridors and eight in school zones across Phoenix.
  • Corridor cameras will move every six months based on speed-related crash patterns, while school-zone units will rotate weekly during the school year.
  • A 30-day public warning period begins at launch on Feb. 23, with ticketing for speed violations beginning March 25.
  • Initial corridor coverage includes stretches of Thunderbird, 32nd Street, 7th Street, Indian School, Camelback, 51st Avenue, Baseline, and Bell Road.
  • Officials say the system supports Phoenix Police enforcement and Vision Zero goals and will operate on a cost-recovery model with any surplus reinvested.
