Dubuque speed cameras on hold

Dubuque’s plans to install automatic traffic enforcement cameras will have to wait until at least 2026. A new Iowa law limiting how cities and counties can use traffic cameras went into effect July 1st. It creates standards for citations drivers can receive and puts a two-year moratorium on new traffic cameras. Dubuque Mayor Brad Cavanagh insists the traffic enforcement cameras are a tool to further public safety. Mayor Cavanagh plans to push for approval of their traffic camera program as soon as the state allows.
