Tempe is bringing back photo enforcement at over a dozen intersections where cameras are already installed.
The majority of the cameras are placed in the north of the Superstition Freeway, in the most densely populated portion.
The city says the intersections were chosen based on which locations showed at least three serious or fatal crashes in recent years and which ones had the highest crash rates per capita.
Tempe Police Lieutenant Mike Hayes says it's part of a multifaceted effort to help reduce traffic collisions.
“We don't just treat enforcement like this is the answer for the problem here. The biggest thing I think we've changed in the last several years is structural, working with engineering and that's why we wanted to do these collaboratively is because we work hand in hand to make sure the roadways are structurally safe as well," Hayes said.
The city will start issuing citations at these locations starting June 5.
