The system will use portable cameras to monitor eastbound and westbound traffic. Motorists will notice "Photo Enforced" signs, but citations will not be issued for the first 30 days. After the grace period, citations will be issued, beginning Friday, Feb. 3, for vehicles exceeding the posted speed limit by 12 mph or more.
