Full Breakdown
Aurora City Code defines an "automated vehicle identification system" as camera-and-radar or camera-and-signal equipment that photographs vehicles violating traffic signals or speed limits (§ 134-450). A city employee or contractor reviews each capture before a penalty assessment notice issues to the registered owner (§ 134-451), payable online, by mail, or via drop box (§ 134-452), with a right to a hearing before the Aurora parking and traffic bureau magistrate (§ 134-453). Speeds 25+ mph over the limit are instead referred to a sworn officer as a traffic offense.
Violations & Fines
Signal violations: up to $75.00. Non-signal (speed) violations: up to $40.00. School-zone violations: double those amounts. Plus up to $40.00 in service-of-process costs if a defendant contests without waiving service.
