If you recently sped in front of one of the city of Phoenix’s 17 photo safety cameras, you may be among the thousands of drivers who received a traffic citation.
The city of Phoenix says these cameras, which are placed along various roadways have helped capture roughly 132,000 speeding events from March 25 to May 31.
So far, more than 17,000 traffic citations have been mailed out. And more than 13,000 legal notices have been generated.
Officials with the city say the money collected from fines will be used to fund this program, as well as other projects within the city’s “Vision Zero” safety program, which aims to reduce traffic fatalities and injuries.
There are nine stationary cameras throughout the city and eight in school zones that rotate weekly.
