PHOENIX — Seventeen speed‑monitoring cameras will go up around metro Phoenix next month.
The photo safety cameras will return on Feb. 23, followed by a 30‑day warning period in which drivers receive warning notices instead of citations, according to a Wednesday announcement from the city of Phoenix.
Drivers who exceed the posted speed limits after March 25 will be cited.

The speed-monitoring cameras will go up mid-block at these locations:

“Photo safety cameras are just one resource towards safer roadways,” Velez said in the announcement. “I’m proud that we are implementing a program that strengthens our safety efforts and aligns with our Vision Zero Action Plan.”
The city shared this map showing where the photo safety cameras are going up in Phoenix:
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.

That rule has ALWAYS worked for me. Under 10 over and you are most likely left alone. That being said speed cameras are a joke. Intersection cameras WORK. Most accidents are indeed intersection related.
Haven’t they tried this before.
Good to know where they are located so I can avoid them or slow down maybe??
