EARLIER: Dayton plans to bring back speed, red light cameras
Currently, the city is operating automated mobile speed trailers.
But installation of 10 fixed-site cameras is in progress, and most or all of the cameras are expected to be operational in November, a city spokesperson said.
When the fixed cameras go online, violations caught on camera will result in warnings for the first 30 days of their use.
The city will begin mailing out citations when the 30-day period expires.

The city is restarting its automated fixed traffic camera system after an Ohio Supreme Court decision that struck down a provision of state law requiring officers to be present during their operation.
The city continued to use mobile speed trailers after it shelved its automated fixed cameras, but officers had to be stationed at the devices when they photographed violations in order to issue tickets.
