How are cameras used to enforce speeding violations?
Radar equipment detects vehicles that are exceeding a threshold speed above the speed limit, then triggers a camera which is linked to the radar equipment. A photograph is taken of the rear of the vehicle. The date, time, speed, location and tag number are recorded. Based on the tag number, a Notice of Infraction (NOI) is mailed to the vehicle’s registered owner. More details on the technical aspects of photo radar.
