Colorado Springs Police Plans Mobile Speed Safety Cameras for School Zones Neighborhoods
In Colorado, the expansion of speed enforcement cameras has sparked mixed reactions. Weld County Sheriff Steve Reams criticizes speed cameras as revenue tools rather than safety measures, particularly in towns between Denver and Greeley, expressing frustration over their use. In contrast, officials in Fort Collins emphasize the safety benefits, with Police Chief Jeff Swoboda noting that the city has increased its electronic speed enforcement to reduce speeds and save lives, issuing citations only for speeds 11 mph over the limit without license points. Meanwhile, the Colorado Springs Police Department is set to deploy two new mobile Speed Safety Camera systems in October as part of its Automated Vehicle Identification System to improve road safety, focusing on school zones, parks, neighborhoods, and construction sites. The department will provide a 30-day warning period before issuing citations and promises ongoing updates to the public about the program's effectiveness. This initiative reflects a broader regional effort to enhance pedestrian and driver safety through technology, despite concerns about the cameras' primary purpose.
