Where will the radar units be located and how were the sites selected?
To maximize the program’s flexibility and impact, the Metropolitan Police Department will be using mobile photo radar units, as well as some fixed-location cameras. Locations throughout the District of Columbia are selected by the MPDC based on incidents of speeding-related fatalities for the past three years, their proximity to school zones and other places where children are present, and known sites of chronic speeding. The deployment of the units is at the sole discretion of the MPDC. Residents are encouraged to contact the MPDC to recommend a photo radar location in their neighborhood.
