New Red Light Cameras Now Active At These Pensacola Intersections
January 2, 2025
New red light cameras are now active in Pensacola, and police will soon be issuing tickets.
The cameras are located at:
- 9th Avenue & Bayou — north, south, east, and west approaches (near Cordova Mall)
- 9th Avenue & Airport — north, south, east, and west approaches (also near Cordova Mall)
- 9th Avenue & Fairfield Drive — east and west approaches
- Davis Hwy & Fairfield Drive — east and west approaches
- 9th Avenue & Gregory Street — west approach
These intersections were chosen based on traffic crash data collected over several years and have historically been sites of Pensacola’s most major crashes., Pensacola Police said. In the past two years alone, these five intersections have accounted for 377 vehicle crashes.
There’s a grace period in place for now. After February 1, each violation will be reviewed by a Pensacola Police officer, and citations will be issued. These citations will n

Time for DC REEVES. to go
These things have been tried all over, and sometimes wind up getting taken down because they cause politicians to lose elections. In the meantime, this is but one more reason for me to avoid going to Pensacola at all cost.
Don’t run red lights.
Problem solved.
We need more officers on traffic control and enforcement , not taxation by citation.
@Molino resident
Yes,owner is responcible for ticket. Ifan accident their insurance will pay. Not the driver if he isnt the owner,
Society has lost common sense
Back in business the courts will now need a new judge to handle all these tickets being issued. Plus the money you’ll need an extra armored truck to carry all the money. The county will become more broke because nobody knows where t he money goes. People begin to hate Escambia County because they think they are thieves. It’s called the Domino effect and it’s starts now

There is a Florida State Statue that covers that. FSS. 316.1967
Good news.
To bad it won’t change driving habits.
Deep state surveillance….these should be illegal.
When they can’t see who is driving the vehicle they can’t prove who they’re issuing a citation to. You can’t cite a vehicle owner just because they’re the owner. You must have proof of identity of the driver. I don’t run red lights but I would never pay a fine issued by a machine without going to court. Unless they have a clear picture of your face or you’re just dumb enough to pay it, it would never hold up in court.
@Rick setting the lights to the fastest “legal” time isn’t breaking the law, and traffic signals aren’t a matter of constitutional law. If you’re advocating for the extension of the legal time a traffic signal is illuminated, then you should contact the legal representative over that jurisdiction to request a change to the law or ordinance.
I hope the camera has a wide angle lens to show the person on my bumper which is the reason I had to go through the light or get severely rear ended! 9th Ave & Bayou is the worst. .They see that yellow light and floor it.
Another government easy money grab. Surprised Century doesn’t have one, too. Oh, that’s right, corrupt Century doesn’t have a police department.
Hope they don’t try to set the yellow light to change to red so fast as other towns have done,just to try to give out tickets to try to make money. That just makes the intersection more dangerous trying not to get caught turning red. Some towns turn lights to change to red the fastest legal time set by law just to generate revenue. Which should be outlawed and unconstitutional. Much of the times these cameras are put up and managed by private companies out to generate money for themselves. Not to keep people safe. Nothing wrong with trying to make the intersections safe.
