Automated speed camera enforcement active on Baltimore Avenue

August 12, 2026

If you’ve recently driven or walked along Baltimore Avenue, you may have spotted new traffic safety signage near Clark Park and key intersections along the corridor (see photo).

The City’s Office of Transportation & Infrastructure Systems (OTIS) and the Philadelphia Parking Authority (PPA) have officially expanded automated speed enforcement (ASE) to Route 13, which runs through West Philadelphia along Baltimore Avenue. Cameras have been installed across high-risk stretches to curb dangerous driving and protect pedestrians, cyclists, and transit riders.

Under the program, speed cameras will monitor traffic to enforce the posted 25 mph limit. The official 60-day warning period began on August 1, and live fine issuance will take effect starting September 30, 2026.

Speed cameras will capture violations for vehicles traveling 11 mph or more over the posted 25 mph limit (36+ mph):

• 11–19 mph over limit: $100 fine
• 20–29 mph over limit: $125 fine
• 30+ mph over limit: $150 fine

In addition to Baltimore Avenue, automated speed camera enforcement (ASE) expanded across several key high-injury corridors in Philadelphia, including Broad Street, Roosevelt Blvd., and designated school zones.

State law requires revenue generated from automated speed enforcement cameras to be reinvested into local road safety and Vision Zero infrastructure projects.
