Minneapolis Launches Speed Camera Pilot Program | JQJO

Minneapolis is launching a $12 million pilot program to combat speeding at five high-risk intersections. Automated speed enforcement cameras will begin operating in September, issuing warnings initially, then fines of $40 or $80 for exceeding speed limits by 10 or 20 mph, respectively. The program, part of the city's Vision Zero initiative, aims to reduce traffic fatalities and serious injuries by 2027. Future expansion is planned, with additional cameras expected in early 2026.
