[0:04] Minneapolis’ Traffic Safety Camera [0:06] Pilot enhances neighborhood [0:08] safety and moves [0:09] the city closer to our Vision [0:11] Zero goal [0:12] of zero traffic deaths [0:13] and serious injuries. [0:15] Cameras are currently located at five, [0:18] high-risk intersections [0:20] throughout the city. [0:21] When a violation is detected, [0:23] the camera takes a picture [0:24] of the rear license plate, [0:26] not the driver, [0:27] along with a short video. [0:29] Minneapolis Traffic Control Agents [0:31] then carefully review the footage [0:33] and verify the violation [0:35] before taking any enforcement action. [0:37] For all first-time violations, [0:39] the City will issue warnings. [0:41] If you receive a citation, [0:43] it will come from the City's vendor [0:45] with the Minneapolis [0:46] Traffic Control logo on it. [0:48] We are committed to community-focused [0:50] education and engagement [0:52] as we introduce this new program. [1:30] Minneapolis’ Traffic Safety Camera [1:32] Pilot enhances neighborhood [1:34] safety and moves [1:35] the city closer to our Vision [1:37] Zero goal [1:38] of zero traffic deaths [1:40] and serious injuries. [1:41] The initial cameras look [1:43] for one specific violation: [1:45] Driving 10 [1:46] or more [1:46] miles per hour [1:47] over the speed limit. In 2026, [1:50] we plan to add cameras [1:52] that also look for red light running. [1:54] Cameras are currently located at five, [1:57] high-risk intersections [1:59] throughout the city [2:00] to protect all who live, work and play [2:03] in Minneapolis. [2:04] At each site, [2:06] the cameras are clearly posted and marked. [2:09] When a violation is detected, [2:11] the camera takes a picture [2:12] of the rear license plate, [2:14] not the driver, [2:15] along with a short video. [2:17] Minneapolis Traffic Control Agents [2:19] then carefully review the footage [2:21] and verify the violation [2:23] before taking any enforcement action. [2:25] For all first-time violations, [2:28] the City will issue warnings. [2:30] For a second or third offense, [2:32] you will receive a $40 fine. [2:35] Driving 20 or more miles per hour [2:37] over the speed [2:38] limit will result in an $80 fine. [2:41] If you receive a citation, [2:43] it will come from the City's vendor [2:45] with the Minneapolis [2:46] Traffic Control logo on it. [2:48] You can find more information [2:50] and additional resources [2:52] at ZeroFatality.com. [2:53] You can also take a free traffic [2:56] safety course [2:57] to dismiss a first-time ticket. [2:59] If you need to contest a citation, [3:01] vehicle owners have four options, [3:03] including submitting information [3:05] security online [3:07] and meeting with a hearing officer. [3:08] If you have questions on a citation, [3:11] you can call 311 for support. [3:14] Getting a citation through this pilot [3:16] differs from getting stopped [3:18] by law enforcement. [3:19] A citation from the Traffic Safety [3:21] Camera will not go on [3:23] your driver's record [3:24] (unless you are a CDL holder), [3:27] and it's not grounds for arrest, [3:29] license revocation, or vehicle towing. [3:32] We are committed to community-focused [3:34] education and engagement [3:36] as we introduce this new program. [3:39] Stay tuned [3:40] for more insights [3:41] as we gather data [3:42] on how this pilot creates [3:44] safer neighborhoods.
