What's next in Phoenix after voters reject speed enforcement cameras

Arizona voted last week to hit the brakes on speed enforcement cameras, potentially leading to the end of the program in Phoenix. Why it matters: With the passage of Proposition 319 , the city must ask voters in the next general election for permission to operate its cameras.

While votes are still being tallied, Prop. 319 looks to be the most popular ballot item , earning more votes than even Gov. Hobbs. How it works: Cities that don't already have a speed enforcement camera contract before the start of 2027 are barred from installing them. Cities that do have contracts — including Phoenix and Scottsdale — must obtain voter approval in the 2028 election in order to keep them. Municipalities have to ask for voter approval again after 10 years. Zoom in: Phoenix has a choice on its hands: It can put the question before voters as required or it can end its speed camera program early. The city's contract with its speed camera vendor, Verra Mobility, expires at the
