The Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT) has denied the City of Muscatine’s applications to conduct automated speed enforcement at all of the city’s fixed camera locations. The City has been conducting automated speed enforcement at these locations since 2011. These locations include:
Park Avenue at Cleveland Street (NB)
Park Avenue at Cleveland Street (SB)
Park Avenue at Washington Street (NB)
Park Avenue at Washington Street (SB)
Cedar Street at Houser Street (EB)
Cedar Street at Houser Street (WB)
US 61 at University Avenue (WB)
US 61 at Mulberry Avenue (WB)
The reason for the denial of these applications was vague and incomplete but the City will comply and not conduct any speed photo enforcement at these locations. These locations will, however, continue to enforce red light violations.
The DOT did approve applications for the use of mobile speed enforcement, so the speed car will continue to be used for speed enforcement at select locations around the city. The City of Muscatine will continue to seek an explanation for the applications that were denied.
