The number of civil speeding citations issued by police easily should exceed 5,000 for the year – and enforcement only started Aug. 18.
Since the program began after a one-month warning period, 4,640 citations have been issued as of last Friday, based on an ongoing weekly count by The Vindicator.
The city police department ticketed 960 people for speeding in all of 2014.
The department cited about 550 motorists weekly when speed-camera enforcement started, but that number has dropped to about 175 a week since the start of November.
