Automated Enforcement Systems for Traffic

Courts Legal Finance Police Transportation Streets Clerk Public Safety

Automated Enforcement Systems for Traffic are technology solutions that use cameras, sensors, and software to detect and document traffic violations without the need for a physical officer at the scene. These systems are used by state and local transportation departments, public safety agencies, and law enforcement partners. Governments use automated enforcement to improve roadway safety, reduce dangerous driving behaviors, and expand enforcement coverage in areas where manual policing is impractical or resource-intensive. They also help create consistent, data-driven enforcement that supports crash reduction, compliance monitoring, and equitable deployment across a city. Types of enforcement can include: red-light enforcement, speed enforcement (fixed, mobile, and school-zone), school-bus stop-arm enforcement, work-zone enforcement, or railroad crossing enforcement.
