Drivers who violate newly installed speed cameras along Route 13 through West Philadelphia should be ready to be slapped with minimum $100 fines starting Friday.
That’s because, as of Friday, a 60-day warning period for new speed cameras at 11 intersections along Route 13 in West Philadelphia has come to an end.
With the warning period in the rearview mirror, drivers who violate any drivers who pass through the speed cameras while traveling 11 m.p.h. over the posted speed limit will be ticketed.
Drivers who are caught traveling 11 to 19 m.p.h. over the speed limit will be slapped with a $100 fine, while officials said, drivers who are caught driving 20 to 29 m.p.h. over posted limits will be hit with $125 fines.
For anyone caught traveling 30 miles an hour, or more, over the posted speed limits, the fines will be $150, officials said.
Automated speed enforcement cameras begin ticketing Friday at the following locations:
According to city data from 2019 through 2023, there were 123 fatal and serious injury crashes, 160 speeding-related crashes and 258 pedestrian crashes along Route 13.
The city hopes the newly installed cameras will help reduce those numbers.
