The Colorado Department of Transportation will install speed cams in several construction zones starting in April, State Traffic Engineer San Lee said. CDOT hasn?t disclosed the specific locations. Eventually, CDOT will expand automated enforcement to other areas where drivers exceeding limits cause crashes, Lee said.

In 2023, lawmakers changed state law to allow speed camera enforcement in any area governments designate as a speed corridor where they?ve collected speeding and crash data. Colorado law requires signs to notify drivers at least 300 feet before the start of a corridor and by each camera. Last year, lawmakers boosted CDOT and CSP authority to deploy automated enforcement systems to detect traffic violations on state highways.

Are they still contracting the cameras?

CONSTRUCTION SPEED LIMIT 25

I can see issuing tickets when there are workers on site, but in the middle of the night it's just cones. Automated speed camera doesn't care.

I do not believe speed cam tickets count as points against your license, and further believe such tickets need to be personally served if there is no response to a mailed notice. Denver Post did a series of articles about them years back.

The state changed the law, you don't need to be served any more. My wife didn't pay and they wouldn't renew her license till she paid.

This is BS. There are countless "construction zones" around the state and particularly in the metro area with literally zero work being performed for months at a time.

My new car reg cost $1700 in Jeffco. Only a small percentage was "tax" that I can deduct.

Fuck these government people.

Always adding ways to take citizens' money.

Be a shame if someone used those expensive cameras as targets.

I received a stop light ticket, in Boulder, sent a reply to serve me in person.
Never heard of it again. Received a stop light ticket in Lakewood. Never replied and no ramifications.

Common practice is to shorten the yellow so you can not safely stop in the reasonable distance.

Just sayin'.

People‘s Republik of N Colorado (FOCO) installed a shitload of the cameras last fall at 19 speed corridors and 6 intersections. Not sure WTH to make of em. I drive thru one of the intersections daily doing 30mph, the posted limit. I see the camera flashing at least 4 or 5 times a week capturing speeders or drivers turning on red light. I always hesitate when that flippin flash goes off. I cant imagine the revenue FOCO makes from these.

Subsequent fees for violations captured by either system may apply due to failure to respond, personal service, and default.? In the case of default, the penalty may be sent to a collection agency.


You take your chances, I suppose.

So I heard in a meeting today that a new enterprise will be formed at CDOT for safety related work. In addition to fines from these cameras, a new fee will be added to insurance premiums and registration. Not much more info. The new fees and enterprise need to be created in the legislative process and signed by the crown.

Fvck this greedy state.

Why can't they use cameras to target car thieves.

I assume you have documentation of that?

In 30 years of doing accident reconstruction, primarily in Colorado, I have seen that exactly one time, and it was a programming error. Common practice is to provide a safe stopping time while traveling 5 mph over the limit, with a little cushion as well. There is documentation of that, and the timing of every stop light can be obtained under FOIA.
