Aurora drivers may soon be forced to slow down on city roads if the City Council approves a yearlong pilot program for at least three photo speed enforcement systems.
The vehicle-based laser speed technology is meant to help police monitor speed in residential areas and school zones and to automatically issue citations for speeding. The cameras wouldn’t be placed at intersections — Aurora residents already voted toColorado law requires an employee to witness a speeding violation if someone is going to get a ticket, and in Aurora, that person has to be a police officer.
“A large number of resident concerns we hear are about speeding and the need for traffic calming, especially on more traveled roads and neighborhoods,” Councilman Steve Sundberg told The Denver Post. “So as our police agency has suffered incredible attrition over the last two to three years, those officers who have worked traffic have been pulled out of those assignments and put on patrol so there has been less traffic enforcement.
City Council members discussed the pilot program from vendor Conduent at a study session Monday and expect to learn more details when the issue comes up for a vote, including the potential cost for tickets. Sundberg said he also hopes to hear from residents about the proposal.
