Photo Enforcement
In an effort to promote driver safety, the City of El Mirage has
implemented a photo enforcement program. This traffic safety program
utilizes both speed Redflex cameras as well as mobile speed enforcement
vehicles.
Fixed Speed Photo Enforcement
The
fixed photo system has sensors embedded in the roadway which are
connected via computer to the intersection traffic signals. During red,
amber and green cycles, the
sensors measure the speed of vehicles entering the intersection.
Photographs are taken of any violations and the registered owner is
cited.
Four locations within the City of El Mirage have been selected for photo enforcement. These locations are:
- El Mirage Road and Northern Avenue
- El Mirage Road and Olive Avenue
- Thunderbird Road and 129th Avenue
- Grand Avenue (US 60) and Primrose Street
Mobile Photo Enforcement
The mobile speed enforcement vehicle is a marked police vehicle that deploys a radar device diagonally across the roadway. A vehicle entering the radar beam in excess of a preset speed which is entered into the computer is photographed from the front and rear. Through reading the license plate numbers on the digital images from each deployment, the registered owner of the vehicle is located through the state's Department of Transportation, and a summons is mailed to the owner.
