Speed cameras in Waterloo will be adjusted to issue more tickets beginning on August 1st, according to the Waterloo Cedar Falls Courier. There are currently 23 stationary automated ticket cameras in the city. They are programmed to issue tickets to any vehicle going 12mph over the speed limit. That will be adjusted down to 11mph over the speed limit. State law actually allows for ticketing to begin at 10mph over the limit. Vehicles going 11 to 20mph over will get a $75 ticket. Those going 21 to 25mph over will get a $100. Its $250 for those going 26 to 30mph over and $500 for those going more than that over the limit. In 2023 Waterloo’s cameras issued 53,000 tickets and collected on 26,000 of those. Those tickets generated $1.16 million, however the City of Waterloo only received a little more than $200,000 in total. The rest went to the company that maintains the cameras and processes the tickets.
