Minneapolis begins speed-camera pilot at five intersections; warnings then $40–$80 fines
Minneapolis is activating state-authorized automated speed cameras this week in early October 2025 at five intersections: Fremont Ave N near W Broadway; 18th Ave NE near Central Ave NE; 3rd St N near 1st Ave N; Chicago Ave S near Franklin Ave E; and Nicollet Ave S near 46th St W. The first detected offense above 10 mph over the limit results in a warning, with subsequent fines of $40 for >10 mph and $80 for >20 mph; cameras capture license plates only and warning signs are required. The pilot runs through July 2029 and could expand to as many as 42 cameras citywide, with red-light enforcement planned later.
