What Consumers Report
Consumers report:

- Being ticketed despite reports that D.C.’s cameras are calibrated with a 1 mph margin of error, raising concerns that drivers traveling near the cutoff may be improperly cited.
- Receiving citations showing speeds precisely at the enforcement threshold, leading some residents to question the accuracy and calibration of the cameras.
