Boulder to activate automated speed enforcement corridors within city limits
DENVER (KDVR) — The city of Boulder said it will be activating designated 'Automated Vehicle Identification Systems' corridors for automated speed enforcement on a rolling basis, starting late this year.
The corridors will be within city limits, including parts of Broadway, Canyon Boulevard, Arapahoe Avenue, Foothills Parkway, 28th Street and Baseline Road, the city said Friday.

'Automated speed enforcement goes hand in hand with roadway design, engineering and education toward safer streets where no one is killed or seriously injured in a crash,' said Interim Director of Transportation Valerie Watson, in a statement.
In addition to the speeding corridors, the city said it will enable automated speed enforcement at an existing fixed camera at Valmont Road and 47th Street.
The city said the AVIS corridors were selected based on data over the past five years related to incidents of crashes, speeding, reckless driving or community complaints of speeding on a street.
'Crash data and conversations with our community consistently raise red flags around speeding,' Watson said. 'We know from experience that speeding influences the injury severity of crashes when they occur.'

The city said the AVIS corridors will be activated on a rolling basis, with the dates posted on an online map, as they become available. There will also be 30 days of warnings before the citation period.
Warnings will not be issued on streets with existing automated enforcement, according to the city, which said active corridors 'can be enforced anytime' using photo radar vans or fixed cameras.
All of the corridors were approved by the Boulder City Council and will be marked with signage to notify drivers of device locations.
