A 60-day warning period for new speed cameras along Route 13 in West Philadelphia will begin Monday with ticketing set to begin in October.
On Monday, officials said, a 60-day warning period will begin for speed cameras at 11 intersections along Route 13 through West Philly.
During this 60-day period, officials said, drivers who violate the speed cameras will receive warnings in the mail.
However, officials said, come Oct. 30, 2026, drivers traveling 11 m.p.h. over the posted speed limit will be ticketed.
Drivers who are caught traveling 11 to 19 m.p.h. over the speed limit will be slapped with a $100 fine, while officials said, drivers who are caught driving 20 to 29 m.p.h. over posted limits will be hit with $125 fines.
For anyone caught traveling 30 miles an hour, or more, over the posted speed limits, the fines will be $150, officials said.
“Speed cameras have dramatically reduced speeding along Roosevelt Boulevard by a staggering 95%,” said Gabe Roberts, Acting Executive Director of the Philadelphia Parking Authority in a statement on the new speed cameras. “Our goal is to continue saving lives and improving public safety on major traffic arteries in the city.”
