SLOW DOWN: Speed Cameras Coming to Colorado Highways Soon

We are starting to see more technology being used to combat speeding and other traffic infractions in Colorado.

For example, the city of Fort Collins installed speeding cameras at multiple intersections to issue tickets back in November 2024.  Residents who violate the speed limit have photos taken of their vehicle, then a ticket is mailed to them.

There is a lot of construction happening on our roads. It feels like I-25 will never get finished and we are predicting that there will be speeding cameras there for sure.

When Cameras Are Coming to Colorado

Denver7 says that the Colorado Department of Transportation will begin its photo speeding program at construction zones, but it will expand to other areas in the future.

The Denver Post says that there will be signage to warn drivers 300 feet before the driver passes the camera.

They also say that there will be a grace period, but fines will be a minimum of $45. Coloradans that are excessively speeding will start receiving citations as soon as Spring 2025.
