Photo Safety Cameras Return to Phoenix
Photo safety cameras will return to Phoenix roadways on February 23. A total of 17 speed-monitoring cameras will be placed at various locations throughout the City aimed at changing driver behavior, supplementing traffic enforcement efforts by Phoenix Police and complementing the City's other Vision Zero strategies.
“The Photo Safety Program is an important step forward in our commitment to reducing fatalities on Phoenix roads,” said Street Transportation Director, Briiana Velez. “Photo safety cameras are just one resource towards safer roadways – I’m proud that we are implementing a program that strengthens our safety efforts and aligns with our Vision Zero Action Plan.”
The Photo Safety Program will include nine camera locations that will rotate through corridors with histories of speed-involved crashes. Camera locations will rotate after a six-month period. Eight additional cameras will be placed in 15-mph school zones, rotating weekly throughout the school year.
Corridor cameras will be placed mid-block at the following locations:
- Thunderbird Road: 35th Avenue to Interstate 17
- 32nd Street: Greenway Parkway to Bell Road
- Thunderbird Road: Interstate 17 to 19th Avenue
- 7th Street: Thomas Road to Indian School Road
- Indian School Road: 83rd Avenue to 75th Avenue
- Camelback Road: 24th Street to 32nd Street
- 51st Avenue: Van Buren Street to Interstate 10
- Baseline Road: 16th Street to 24th Street
- Bell Road: Interstate 17 to 19th Avenue

The program will include a 30-day warning period, starting on February 23, where violators will be sent warning notices instead of citations. Enforcement with citations will start March 25, for drivers exceeding the posted speed limit.
“Our goal is to reduce fatal collisions, and this technology is a proven tool to help achieve that,” said Phoenix Police Commander Nicholas Diponzio. “Helping everyone who lives, works and visits Phoenix reach their destination safely.”
The Photo Safety Program is focused on increasing roadway safety and not generating revenue. It operates on a cost-recovery system, any remaining funds will be invested in implementing the City’s Vision Zero Road Safety Action Plan.
