During pick-up and drop-off, the speed limit is 15 mph, so drivers going 25 mph or faster get flagged. Outside those windows, going 10 mph over the posted limit triggers a violation.<\/li>\n<li>Violations carry a $100 fine. Private companies keep a share of the revenue \u2014 Chicago-based RedSpeed received about 20% of the $17 million in fines generated by Miami-Dade County\u2019s cameras in the first half of 2025.<\/li>\n<li>Critics, including Ticket Clinic attorney Ted Hollander, argue the program functions as a revenue driver more than a safety measure. RedSpeed counters that nine in 10 drivers who get a violation don\u2019t get a second one, calling it proof the cameras work.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p><i>This report was produced with the assistance of a proprietary tool powered by artificial intelligence and using our own originally reported, written and published content.
