Traffic Safety Cameras Showing Progress

From Ward 7 City Council Office:

Our traffic safety cameras are already showing results; speeding went down by more than 50% in the first two months.

A pilot of traffic safety cameras for speeding is part of the City’s Vision Zero effort to get to zero traffic deaths and serious injuries.

The Minneapolis traffic safety camera pilot launched Oct. 1 with five cameras focused on speeding, and the report for 2025 is out. It shows more than 13,000 fewer people speeding at all the camera locations over December compared to October. Speeding at more than 20 mph over the limit was down 58%. We saw large reductions in speeding at every camera location.

The City expects to add more speed cameras and add red light cameras as early as this spring. Those locations will be decided from 11 locations identified as high priorities in the City’s 2025 camera location analysis. There will be public notice, including signs at the sites of the future cameras, before any new cameras are added.
