Frankford Avenue speed cameras are live in Northeast Philadelphia

Philadelphia’s automated speed cameras on Frankford Avenue (State Route 13) are now in the ticketing phase after the 60-day warning period ended at midnight Thursday, CBS Philadelphia reported. PPA says official ticketing begins Friday, June 26 at 12:01 a.m.

The speed camera enforcement is on the Frankford Ave/Route 13 corridor in Northeast Philadelphia. The cameras are located at 9900, 8300, 7000, and 6400 Frankford Ave, plus 3100 Levick St. and 2100 Robbins St. The speed limit on that stretch is 25 mph.

What’s changed: warning phase to mailed tickets

PPA says new automated speed enforcement deployments start with a 60-day motorist warning period. During that time, drivers receive mailed warnings containing information about the automated speed enforcement program; no fine or penalty is given during the warning period.

PPA also explains that after the warning period, the program issues tickets when motor vehicles are driven 11 MPH or higher than the posted speed limit.

How the ticket thresholds and fines work

For the Frankford Ave/Route 13 corridor, CBS Philadelphia reports that drivers caught going 11 mph over the posted limit will be ticketed by the Philadelphia Parking Authority (PPA). PPA lists the fine amounts as:

• 11 to 19 mph over the posted speed limit: $100
• 20 to 29 mph over: $125
• 30 mph or more over: $150

PPA says this is a non-moving civil violation and no license points will be accessed.

It’s automated enforcement—not a police stop

PPA says the law requires review and inspection by PPA, followed by review by the Philadelphia Police Department before any ticket is issued. The ticket is mailed to the motor vehicle owner whose license was captured from the rear.

What to do if you get a notice

If you receive a speed camera violation notice, follow the instructions included with the violation. PPA says disputes are administered by Philadelphia’s Office of Administrative Review, and drivers should use the hearing request form process described in the notice.
