PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Automated speed enforcement cameras will begin operating on Monday along Broad Street, part of a city initiative to reduce traffic accidents and improve safety .

The cameras will be installed at 15 locations stretching from Old York Road to the stadiums in South Philadelphia.

City officials say the corridor was selected due to its high rate of speeding-related crashes. Between 2020 and 2024, Broad Street saw 206 fatal and serious injury collisions.

"We will help to reduce the number of accidents on the road," said Mayor Cherelle Parker.

"It really only takes a percentage, a few percentage of people, who think they can drive 60 mph, run a couple of lights to create that tragedy that we're talking about," said Mike Carroll, the city's acting managing director.
