Glendale Speed Safety Program

The Public Works Dept. of Glendale would like to provide an update to the new Speed Safety Program, a proactive initiative aimed at improving traffic safety and reducing speeding in key areas throughout the city. This program reflects the city’s ongoing commitment to promoting safer streets for drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists, fostering an environment where all modes of transportation can coexist safely. 

The Glendale Speed Safety Program Draft Use Policy and Draft Impact Report were posted on March 12. They are available for public review and comment. The Use Policy is designed to promote transparency and trust in automated enforcement and includes guidelines for operation, data handling, privacy protection, violation notifications, contesting violations, data retention, public access and third-party data regulation. Additionally, the Impact Report assesses civil liberties, civil rights, recommended system locations, stakeholder collaboration, and fiscal costs.
