After a six-year-absence, speed monitoring cameras are returning to the streets of Phoenix.
In late February, 17 speed-monitoring cameras will be placed at various spots throughout the city. Just over half of those will rotate locations every six months to monitor corridors known for speed-involved crashes.
The eight other cameras will be placed in 15 mile-an-hour school zones. Those will rotate weekly throughout the school year.
The cameras will activate Feb. 23, with a 30-day warning period. Violators will be issued citations thereafter.
Red light cameras have also been approved, but there is no timeline for their return.
According to the city, "corridor cameras will be placed mid-block at the following locations."
