Starting today, Phoenix drivers can officially be fined by speed cameras across the city. After a 30-day warning period, the grace period has now ended — meaning drivers caught speeding will begin receiving citations. During that warning period alone, cameras recorded more than 70,000 instances of drivers going over the speed limit. The city installed 17 cameras total, including fixed locations and rotating school zone cameras, in response to rising serious crashes and a shortage of traffic officers. The cameras are set to trigger if drivers are going 11 mph or more over the posted speed limit. Some drivers say it could help slow people down, while others believe it won’t change behavior — or could even make roads more distracting. Either way, starting today, getting caught speeding could come with a ticket. Do you think these cameras will actually make a difference?
