Middletown Police Department Launches Automated Traffic Enforcement Cameras on Washington Street

Middletown, CT – June 9, 2025 — The Middletown Police Department is announcing the installation of Automated Traffic Enforcement Safety Devices (speed cameras) on Washington Street just west of Camp Street. This initiative is part of the City’s ongoing efforts to enhance road safety and reduce speeding in high-traffic areas.

Starting Monday, June 9, 2025, speed enforcement cameras will be active in both eastbound and westbound lanes of Washington Street West of Camp Street. In accordance with Connecticut state law, there will be a 30-day warning period. During this time, motorists who exceed the posted speed limit will receive warning notices rather than citations.

The goal of this program is not about issuing tickets, but to reduce the risk of serious and fatal crashes and to make Washington Street safer for all road users, including pedestrians.

The deployment of these cameras aligns with Middletown’s broader traffic safety goals and supports the City’s Safe Streets and Vision Zero initiatives, strategies dedicated to eliminating traffic-related fatalities and serious injuries.

Following the 30-day grace period, citations will be issued to drivers recorded exceeding speed limits by the automated enforcement system. The Middletown Police Department encourages all drivers to observe posted speed limits and practice safe, responsible driving.

The Department remains committed to ensuring safer streets for everyone who lives, works, or travels through Middletown.
