Traffic Camera Information
Traffic camera violations are issued via regular mail and carry a civil penalty, meaning the violation amounts to a civil fine only. You will NOT receive a traffic conviction and points will NOT be reported to the BMV. Currently the Village of Peninsula is the only jurisdiction utilizing photo enforcement devices.
