School Zone Photo Enforcement

When the Program Began

Edgewood city council passed Ordinance 18-0538 in December 2018, authorizing installation of school zone enforcement cameras. These new cameras augment our city’s police force, helping to ensure drivers obey the posted 20 MPH speed limit in school zones.

Why the Program Began

Ensuring the safety of our students is a top priority. A national survey found two-thirds of drivers exceed the posted speed limit in school zones during the 30-minute periods before and after classes. School zone enforcement cameras provide an ongoing enforcement presence, which creates changes in driver behavior and brings improved road safety to our community.

What the Infraction Money is Used for

Per EMC 10.25.110 Revenue utilization.
Camera infraction revenue will be used to pay camera service provider fees and court costs related to the traffic safety camera program. Infraction revenue in excess of the implementation and enforcement costs will be utilized for traffic safety programs including, but not limited to, citywide traffic safety improvements, pedestrian mobility and safety, and law enforcement.
Camera revenues will be accounted for separately in the city’s general fund. Excess revenue will not be included in the city’s current budget; unspent funds from the previous year will be allocated to necessary program expenses.

Where the Cameras are Located

There are currently three schools in Edgewood with School Zone Cameras:

Hedden Elementary School - 11313 8th St E
Edgemont Jr. High School - 2300 110th Ave E
Northwood Elementary School - 9805 24th St E
