Automated speed trailers have been deployed around the City of Longmont in Northern Colorado to ticket speeders. Right now, there is a 30-day warning period to warn these speeders about the new program.
One of the speed trailers can be found on Collyer Street. Along with the machine, there are warning signs around the neighborhood, including a Traffic Laws Photo Enforced sign. This means slow down or risk getting a speeding ticket. If you receive the warning or ticket, it will be sent to your home, explaining how fast you are going and what you have to pay.
Longmont police say they are still working on the red-light cameras, which will work the same way. You will see them at intersections and highways, including:
- Main Street or Highway 287
- Pace Street
- Ken Pratt Boulevard or Highway 119
- Hover Road (N. 95th Street)
- Airport Road (N. 87th Street)
- 17th Avenue
- Mountain View Avenue
- 11th Avenue
- 9th Avenue
- 3rd Avenue
- Pike Road
- 21st Avenue
- 23rd Avenue
When you speed through these areas, the camera will take a picture of the front and back of your vehicle, where the license plates are. You will see these cameras around neighborhoods, construction, and school zones, places where you see the worst speeding violations…
