AAMVA supports the data-driven and responsible deployment of automated traffic enforcement. When deployed appropriately (such as in high crash areas and in work zones), automated enforcement technology has proven effective in reducing crashes. Effective use of this technology has also proven to reduce traffic law violations, namely excessive speed, in target areas.
AAMVA encourages these systems be used as an augmentation to, and not as a strategy to supplant, existing law enforcement staffing or other resources.
Jurisdictions should review and consider implementing applicable recommendations from the U.S. Department of Transportation, Speed Enforcement Camera Systems Operational Guidelines, March 2008, DOT HS 810 916, if speed enforcement cameras are to be utilized. AAMVA further encourages jurisdictions employ safeguards which ensure consistent application, review and enforcement.
