(Radio Iowa) – Cedar Rapids has received approval from the Iowa D-O-T to turn two I-380 speed cameras back on. K-C-R-G T-V reports that the city received approval to turn cameras back on both sides of the “S-Curve” on Interstate 380 near First Avenue and J Avenue.

The city says the D-O-T agreed the cameras are needed to help control speed and ensure safety on the curve. City staff are working to install the required signs and recalibrating equipment to get the cameras back up and working.

Most of the Cedar Rapids speed cameras on I-380 were turned off after a 2024 law required cities to get approval from the Iowa D-O-T by showing the cameras are used to improve safety.
