The City of Memphis Speed Safety Program is in place to encourage motorists to slow down in school zones where traffic data and citizen complaints show that speeding is a problem. This program supports increased public safety and enhances protection for our children. This program is pursuant to City of Memphis Ordinance 5747 Section 21-81.



The City of Memphis uses an automated traffic enforcement program to supplement traffic enforcement by Memphis police officers. The photo safety program deploys digital cameras to capture alleged violations. The cameras may be installed at intersections or mid-block at school zones and S curves. Cameras will be active for the 30 minutes prior to school opening and 15 minutes after it has opened. The cameras will once again activate 15 minutes prior to school closing until 30 minutes after it has closed.

The cameras will be located on poles near or adjacent to school zones and S curves.
