Photo enforcement cameras are now operational at nine West Chandler and other nearby intersections, with each being monitored at the approaches for north- and southbound traffic.
Sgt. Daniel Mejia, Chandler PD media relations officer, noted that violators captured on the cameras at these intersections will receive a warning in the mail for their respective violation through May 31.
On Thursday, June 1, cameras will be in full operation, and citations will be generated for speeding and red light violations.
In all, a total of 12 Chandler intersections are equipped with photo enforcement cameras through the city of Chandler’s photo enforcement vendor, American Traffic Solutions.                                                                                                                                             All are monitored for both red light and speeding violations. Five intersections became fully operational in June 2016. Two additional intersections went into full operation last October.
Monitored locations include:
• Westbound Chandler Boulevard at Kyrene Road
• Southbound & Eastbound McClintock Drive at Ray Road
• Eastbound Ray Road at Rural Road
• Westbound Chandler Boulevard at Dobson Road
• Southbound & Westbound Dobson Road at Ray Road
• Eastbound Ray Road at Alma School Road
• Westbound & Southbound Warner Road at Alma School Road
• Southbound Arizona Avenue at Warner Road
• Southbound Arizona Avenue at Ray Road
Chandler, like some other cities, is determined to profit from mostly safe drivers by using speed cameras where the posted limits are set at least 10 mph lower than the safest levels and by using red light cameras where the yellow intervals are set about one second too short for the actual conditions. This makes the cameras very profitable, but makes them government-run for-profit rackets to enforce for profits. But enforcement for profits is 100% wrong 100% of the time.
If governments were not the business partners of the for-profit camera companies, these scams could be investigated under RICO statutes for racketeering.

I thought there was a billed passed last year that bans traffic scameras on State Highways? This caused the removal of scameras on Grand Ave in El Mirage speed traps and on SR87 in Star Valley east of Payson on their revenue raisers.
Why does Chandler still have scameras on Az Ave at Warner, Ray, and Ocotillo Roads? Az Ave is also SR87!
