If you’re used to hitting the gas on Broad Street, this is your warning to slow down Philly! Speed cameras are coming. Beginning Monday, September 15, 2025, Philadelphia is officially expanding its Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) program to Route 611, covering the entire stretch of Broad Street and a section of Old York Road.
Speed cameras are coming
Indeed, speed cameras are on the way. Specifically, for the first 60 days, drivers caught speeding will only receive warnings in the mail.
However, starting Friday, November 14, tickets will start rolling out, and they won’t be cheap.
Here’s a breakdown of the fines:
- $100 for traveling 11-19 mph over the 25 mph speed limit
- $125 for 20-29 mph over
- $150 for 30+ mph over
Important to note, no points will be added to your license.
Philadelphia Mayor, Cherelle L. Parker commented on the new move:
Broad Street is one of the city’s busiest and most dangerous roads, and we’re taking steps to make it safer. Speed cameras save lives.
Specifically, she pointed to Roosevelt Boulevard as proof. Before 2020, it was the most dangerous road in Philly. After ASE cameras were installed, speeding violations dropped by 95% and pedestrian-involved crashes fell by 50%.
There will be 15 camera locations along route 611, all listed on Philadelphia Parking Authority’s ASE program website.
“Speed enforcement cameras are critically important tools,” added PPA Executive Director Rich Lazer. “We now hope to bring about the similar results along Broad Street.”
Vision Zero program
This expansion is part f the city’s Vision Zero program, aiming to eliminate traffic fatalities.
Between 2020 and 2024, Broad Street recorded 206 fatal and serious injury crashes, the highest rate of speeding-related crashes in Philly.
With the implementation of the new cameras, the goal is to get Philly drivers to slow down and be safe…or pay up.
Lastly, if you’re wondering what the city plans to do with the surplus revenue from tickets, it goes into a PennDOT transportation safety fund. This fund is used to reinvest in projects near corridors where fines were collected.
