New red light cameras installed at high-traffic intersections

(April 9, 2026) The City of Davenport is expanding its Automated Traffic Enforcement (ATE) program with new red light cameras at high-traffic intersections. This initiative builds on Davenport's existing ATE efforts and reflects the City's continued commitment to preventing serious accidents on our roads. The new camera locations were chosen based on traffic counts and crash analyses related to red-light violations.

New Red-Light Camera Locations

• Veterans Memorial Parkway and U.S. 61 (SB)
• 53rd Street and Elmore Avenue (EB/WB)
• Kimberly Road and U.S. 61 South near Welcome Way (EB/WB)

Existing Red-Light Camera Locations

• Harrison Street at 35th Street (SB)
• Brady Street at Kimberly Road (NB)
• Kimberly Road at Brady Street (EB/WB)
• Welcome Way at Kimberly Road (SB)
• Locust Street at Lincoln Avenue (EB/WB)

Fees for red-light camera violations will remain $100 per offense. Cameras will be active starting April 9, 2026, but there will be a 30-day warning period for violations. Per Iowa state law, revenue from ATE programs must be used for public safety and infrastructure, not general City operations.

The City of Davenport submits annual reports to the Iowa Department of Transportation on the use of ATE, including crash data and citations issued. The most recent report covering ATE use in 2025 is available at this link.
