The City will deploy five traffic safety cameras to begin automated enforcement of speed limits this fall. The traffic camera safety pilot program is a key part of the City’s Vision Zero initiative. Vision Zero aims to eliminate traffic deaths and severe injuries on Minneapolis streets. It pursues a future where everyone can move through our city safely, efficiently and equitably.
Camera locations
- 18th Avenue Northeast near Central Avenue Northeast in Northeast
- Third Street North near First Avenue North in Downtown
- Fremont Avenue North near West Broadway Avenue in Near North
- Chicago Avenue near Franklin Avenue East in Ventura Village
- Nicollet Avenue near 46th Street West in King Field and Tangletown
Traffic cameras may only be used for traffic enforcement and capture a picture or video of the back of the vehicle. They’re not allowed to take pictures or video of people.
Traffic safety cameras are meant to shift driver behavior and save lives, not generate revenue. As required by state law, any revenue from fines will cover implementation costs and investments in other traffic safety and calming measures.
Read more about the traffic safety cameras on the City website.
