There are still a LOT of cameras in AZ. Only the state Highway Patrol stopped using them. Most cities have them. Payson has one set up so that the speed limit drops as you crest the hill, and 20 yards past that is the camera. Fine was over $200...unless you were a local, you wouldn’t know about the speed limit drop in time to avoid a ticket.
40th St and Pecos still has one. Phoenix AZ
Good point. I think Paradise Valley was one of the first, if not the first, to use them. They had one rigged up on a van. Always sat in the same spot. I always got a chuckle because these cameras had to be posted with warnings signs.
I was back in Glendale a few months ago. I did note see any there, and did not see any in the parts of Phoenix I traveled through.
Still the point that widespread disregard for such policies does pretty much make them null.
IIRC, San Diego once had such a backlog of ignored parking tickets they wiped the system clean and started over again.
