• All camera locations have signs that warn about camera enforcement.
• We use traffic safety cameras to look for vehicles going 10 mph or more over the speed limit.
• A warning is issued for a first offense. After the warning, subsequent violations will result in citations.
• In 2026, the City plans to enforce running red lights as well at some locations.

Mailed warnings and citations will include details about the infraction.

We do not send messages by text message or email.

The notices will show:

• Type of offense
• Location
• Date
• Time

• Speed limit
• Vehicle speed
• License plate
• Three pictures of the vehicle and license plate

• All warning notices say that “no further action is required on your part.”
• The warning is a reminder to slow down and obey speed limits and red lights.
• If there is another traffic safety camera violation in the same vehicle, then we will issue a citation for that next violation.

Citations will result in fines

• $40 fine if a vehicle goes 10-19 mph or more over the speed limit
• $80 fine if a vehicle goes 20 mph or more over the speed limit

Take traffic safety class to waive fine

• Drivers can take a traffic safety class to waive your first fine
• The traffic safety class is free
• This is only an option for your first fine

Driving record impacts

Violations do not go on driving records - except as required by law for holders of a commercial driver’s license. Violations cannot be grounds for:

• Revoking a driver’s license
• Arrest
• Towing a vehicle

Camera uses

The traffic safety cameras are not used for general surveillance.

Under State law, the cameras can only be used for enforcing speeding and red light running.

Rules for traffic safety cameras

These are some of the rules the cameras must follow under State law:

• The cameras cannot be used as automatic license plate readers.
• The cameras can only record video or take pictures if they sense a potential speeding or red light violation.
• Cameras cannot capture pictures that can identify people.
• Requirements that data must be destroyed in a timely manner.
• The City’s camera vendor cannot share personal data, unless ordered by a court.
• Camera data cannot be used for anything other than enforcing speed or red light violations.

Data security

The City made data security a key part of choosing a camera vendor. The selected vendor, NovoaGlobal, has strong data protection systems that meet or exceed all State requirements.

The City also audits the vendor regularly to make sure they follow all data privacy laws.
