Are there speed cameras on Floyd Hill along Interstate 70?

Tyler Hickman, The Colorado Sun
no

The Colorado Department of Transportation has not installed speed enforcement cameras on Floyd Hill, or anywhere else on Interstate 70.

In 2023, Colorado passed Senate Bill 200, expanding the use of Automated Vehicle Identification Systems to enforce speed compliance in high-risk areas. CDOT launched the Colorado Speed Enforcement Program in June, rolling out the first — and so far only — cameras on state highways July 21 along the Colorado Highway 119 work zone between Boulder and Longmont. 

Under state law, jurisdictions must give 30 days’ public notice before speed cameras are installed, and issue only warnings for the first 30 days after they begin operating. Drivers can be fined $75 for speeding in work zones with AVIS cameras.

Several cities also have camera radar in use, including Boulder, Longmont, Fort Collins and Denver. In 2024, 22 states and Washington, D.C., had speed camera enforcement programs in operation.
