- Phoenix mailed 7,900 camera citations in just over a month.
- Legal experts question whether every speeding fine is enforceable.
- The city logged 70,000 speeding events during a warning period.
Arizona has flip-flopped on traffic cameras several times over the years, and most recently, it’s switched cameras on. Now, after only a little over a month, the system in Phoenix has issued over 7,900 tickets. Some legal experts say that actually collecting the fees associated with those citations is a whole other beast.
Since March 25, the city has mailed more than 7,900 citations after activating enforcement cameras across 17 locations as part of its Vision Zero traffic safety initiative. Before enforcement officially began, Phoenix says the system recorded roughly 70,000 speeding events during a warning period alone.
