DENVER (KDVR) — Be prepared, Boulder drivers: The city has installed two new red-light photo enforcement cameras at high-traffic intersections, and speed enforcement will soon begin with a third camera already installed.
The new red-light cameras will be placed at the intersections of Canyon Boulevard and 15th Street, and 28th Street and Jay Road. A third, pre-existing automated speed enforcement camera at Broadway and Pine Street will also be placed in service.

The speed enforcement is scheduled to begin on March 15. Red-light enforcement is scheduled to begin on April 1.
The city said it will issue warning citations for the first month the cameras are in use, and is also installing signage to alert drivers of the new enforcement.
According to the city of Boulder, speeding and running red lights are two of the city’s most common causes of fatal and serious injury traffic crashes.
“City intersections with red-light cameras have seen a drop in violations since the program first started in 1998 and a 70% decrease in the annual number of traffic crashes caused by running red lights,” the city said in a release regarding the new cameras.
