Loop 101 photo enforcement ends

8JulyScottsdale

Photo Radar Cameras Effective July 1, 2008, the city of Scottsdale has ended the one year agreement it had with the Arizona Department of Public Safety to continue Loop 101 photo enforcement.  With construction shutting down some of the cameras, along with the new bill passed into law for sate wide photo enforcement, the City of Scottsdale decided now was a good time to end their enforcement/involvement.

Scottsdale city court will still process all citations issued through the end of June.

According to the East Valley Tribune, it is unclear whether the existing fixed cameras will go back into effect once construction is complete, and once the contract for state wide photo enforcement is awarded.

    I hope the state puts the cameras in operation soon. Loop 101 is a speedway without them.

    Once the construction ends the state may reinstate the program, however the way the state has the program written right now it will only be a fine, no points on the license, etc. I would like to see the program active again but not if it isn’t going to have any teeth.

    The speed cameras slow drivers only in the area where they are; it is a money making mechanism for the state and has no real effect on safety outside the immediate camera area. There are studies suggesting that they increase accident rates in their vicinity, as well, just as there are studies showing the opposite.

    There are a limited number of successful ways to slow traffic: The presence of officers, toll booths enforcing average speeds, and vehicle reporting systems tied to GPS or other invasive technological means.
