If you’re caught speeding in Fort Collins, you may soon be looking at a citation instead of a warning.
After expanding its photo ticketing system — and letting the community know through a 60-day announcement and warning period — those warnings officially end Nov. 24, according to Fort Collins Police Services.
The system changed this year after a Colorado law passed in 2023 allowed local governments to expand their use of photo ticketing. Fort Collins City Council unanimously consented to the expansion of Fort Collins’ photo ticketing this summer, paving the way for police to use photo ticketing systems (known as AVIS, or automatic vehicle identification systems) on any roads designated as a speed corridor, according to past Coloradoan reporting.
Previously, speed cameras could only be used in construction zones, school zones, neighborhoods and along roads adjacent to parks.
Under the change, six intersections that are already fitted with red light cameras will be able to record speeding violations from certain approaches. FCPS, which already had four Jeep vehicles outfitted with camera radar systems, also added two new transportable radar units to its fleet as part of the program’s expansion.
