According to the city, the cameras will improve safety and limit crashes, but drivers FOX13 spoke to were not happy to learn they may soon be subject to tickets.
The city will begin sending out warnings to anyone caught on camera going 7 miles over the speed limit on September 30. On October 30, it will begin sending out $50 fines.
The cameras will cover 15 school zones and reverse curves:
Union Avenue: Rembert to Morrison (School Zone)
Whitney Avenue: Mountain Terrace to Wingate (School Zone)
Tillman Street: McAdoo to Tillman Cove (School Zone)
Kirby Parkway: Raines to Birchwalk (School Zone)
Stratford Road: Bowen to Marcel (School Zone)
East Holmes Road: Tulane to Elvis Presley Blvd. (School Zone)
Perkins Road: Wooddale to Scottsdale (School Zone) and Reverse Curve
North White Station Road: Normandy to Heatherway (School Zone)
Getwell Road: Mallory to Elliston (School Zone)
New Allen Road: Hawkins Mill Road to Price of Peace Church (Reverse Curve)
Tchulahoma Road: Shannon Circle to 400 feet South of Christine (Reverse Curve)
McLean Road: Forrest to Faxon (School Zone)
Quince Road: Sulgrave to Solway (School Zone)
Perkins Road: 100 feet South of Chip to 100 feet North of Perkins Cove (Reverse Curve)
Knight Arnold Road: 600 feet East of Mendenhall to 200 feet of Spencer (Reverse Curve)
According to the city, the cameras will take two pictures of your car at slightly different locations to calculate how fast you were going. Then, the information will be sent to a police officer, who will give the all-clear to send you a ticket.
Sound familiar? That’s because it’s a similar system to the one behind the city’s red light cameras.
