Mesa Police Department - Media Release
Tripod traffic testing begins in Mesa
The Mesa Police Department and American Traffic
Solutions, Inc. (ATS) will soon begin a speed
enforcement testing process in pre-selected school
zones throughout the city.
The technology includes a tripod and camera that
has the ability to assess speed in smaller school
zone areas where larger types of traffic enforcement
is challenging to police. Mesa Police and ATS have
agreed to this testing process only to target the
school zones when the 15 miles-per-hour movable
signs are in the roadway during school hours.
During the duration of the testing process at the
pre-selected areas, no warnings and/or citations
will be issued. Vehicles going 6 miles over the
posted speed limit of 15 miles per hour will trigger
the camera. This is strictly a testing process that
has been agreed to by Mesa Police and ATS.
The testing will begin on Thursday, May 8, 2008.
The first school zone will begin at University and
Westwood, then continue north to Westwood and 6th
Street. The second school zone will be at Longmore
and 7th Street. The duration of the testing period
is unknown at this time. It will be continuously
re-evaluated as the technology is under development.
