On February 1, the 30-day warning period will begin for the first fixed-site location under the renewed traffic enforcement camera program. Two speed cameras will be located on North Keowee Street between East Third Street and East Fifth Street. This is the first of five fixed sites to be placed across the city over the course of this year.

After the warning period, citations will be issued to the registered owner of a vehicle photographed violating the speed limit. Every potential violation is reviewed by a Dayton Police Department officer, and a citation will only be issued if there is clear evidence of a violation.

As a reminder, the Dayton Police Department also utilizes six handheld speed camera units, which can be deployed to areas city where crash data show that speed is likely a problem. The department also has two mobile speed enforcement trailers currently in use on Riverside Drive and North James H. McGee Boulevard. Due to a decrease in crashes and noted change in driver behavior in these two areas (illustrated by the figures below), the speed trailers will be moved to the area of Stanley Avenue and Troy Street, based on crash data.

Below are monthly totals of warning or violation notices issued from the trailer locations since the program began in October 2017:
