Residents in Avondale might want to ease off the accelerator, as the local police department shifts its speed safety camera locations in an effort to combat speeding. Starting October 13, drivers will encounter these electronic watchdogs at two new posts: the eastbound 11200 block of W. McDowell Road, near N. Avondale Boulevard, and the westbound 10900 block of W. McDowell Road, near N. 107th Avenue, according to an update from the Avondale Police Department.
In the wake of numerous resident complaints and areas where frequent speeding has been noted by officers, these changes reflect a focused initiative to slow down motorists and enhance road safety. For those curious about the strategic positioning of the cameras or the latest in traffic enforcement updates, the Avondale PD points to their social media channels and the official website as the go-to resources. Motorists won't be caught off-guard, though; signs will be clearly posted alerting drivers to the presence of the speed cameras ahead.
Going over the speed limit in Avondale will cost violators a minimum of $185, with fines increasing based on how far above the posted limit a driver is traveling and where the violation occurs. The details were outlined in a recent report issued through the City of Avondale’s official news release. City officials stated that the initiative is intended to improve compliance with speed limits and enhance overall road safety.
