60 Day Warning Period for Automated Speed Enforcement Cameras on Final Stretch of Route 13 Begins Monday – August 31st

 

(PHILADELPHIA) — The Philadelphia Parking Authority announced that a 60-day warning period for new automated speed enforcement cameras along the final stretch of Route 13 will begin MONDAY – August 31st.

During this initial 60-day warning period, drivers will not be ticketed; instead, they will receive warnings in the mail if recorded speeding. 

“Speed cameras dramatically reduced speeding along Roosevelt Boulevard by a staggering 95%,” said Gabe Roberts, Acting Executive Director of the Philadelphia Parking Authority. “Our goal is to continue saving lives and improving public safety on major traffic arteries in the city.”

Automated speed enforcement cameras will be stationed at the following locations: 

  • 6000 BLK BALTIMORE AVE (Eastbound & Westbound)
  • 5600 BLK BALTIMORE AVE (Eastbound & Westbound)
  • 4900 BLK BALTIMORE AVE (Eastbound & Westbound)
  • 4300 BLK BALTIMORE AVE (Eastbound)
  • 4200 BLK BALTIMORE AVE (Westbound)
  • 300 BLK S UNIVERSITY AVE (Northbound & Southbound)
  • 200 BLK N 38TH STREET (Northbound & Southbound)
  • 400 BLK N 34TH STREET (Southbound)
  • 3300 BLK W GIRARD AVE (Eastbound & Westbound)
  • 2000 BLK N 33RD STREET (Northbound & Southbound)
  • 3400 BLK RIDGE AVE (Northbound & Southbound)

Drivers traveling 11 mph over the posted speed limit will be ticketed. Fines are $100 for traveling 11-19 mph over the speed limit, $125 for 20-29 mph over, and $150 for 30+ mph over. No points are assigned to the driver’s license.

Official ticketing will begin on October 30th, 2026, at 12:01 am.

The City’s Office of Transportation and Infrastructure Systems (OTIS) is responsible for analyzing citywide crash, speed, and injury data to prioritize dangerous corridors and determine the locations for each automated speed enforcement camera. After OTIS selects the locations and determines the specific speed limit, the PPA works with the City and PennDOT to install and activate the cameras following an initial 60-day warning period.

“The City’s partnership with the PPA to implement automated speed cameras along routes in the city where we know the most speeding-related injuries and deaths occur is showing to be effective in saving lives,” said Michael A. Carroll, Deputy Managing Director, Office of Transportation and Infrastructure Systems. “Revenue collected by PPA, above what covers automated enforcement program costs, is used to implement more traffic safety improvement programs in Philadelphia.” 

Last year the PPA installed 31 automated speed cameras the length of Broad Street in Philadelphia. This installation added to 40 cameras that currently run the length of Roosevelt Boulevard, bringing the total number of automated speed cameras in Philadelphia to 80 (Includes 10 on Rt 13).
