Colorado’s Latest Speed Cameras May Make GPS App Alerts Redundant

1 Min Read

Cybertruck speed cameras, viewed as significant eyesores, are designed to capture immediate speed readings; however, the recent units deployed in Colorado focus on merely determining average speeds. Following the enactment of Colorado Revised Statute 42-4-110.5, the CDOT and local law enforcement are permitted to utilize speed cameras in driving areas labeled as high-risk zones. This initiative was established to mitigate speeding in construction zones, where worker safety is at greater risk and police monitoring is challenging.

Applications like Waze include features that monitor speed cameras, providing audible notifications prior to approaching one, while radar detectors can alert you to forthcoming speed enforcement. Nevertheless, the Colorado cameras are configured to capture images of vehicle license plates at entry and exit points, enabling the calculation of average speeds and the automatic issuance of fines to violators.
