Speed cameras in place in Northern Colorado town as 30-day warning period begins
Automated speed trailers have been deployed around the City of Longmont in Northern Colorado to ticket speeders. Right now, there is a 30-day warning period to warn these speeders about the new program.
One of the speed trailers can be found on Collyer Street. Along with the machine, there are warning signs around the neighborhood, including a Traffic Laws Photo Enforced sign. This means slow down or risk getting a speeding ticket. If you receive the warning or ticket, it will be sent to your home, explaining how fast you are going and what you have to pay.

Longmont police say they are still working on the red-light cameras, which will work the same way. You will see them at intersections and highways, including:
Main Street or Highway 287
Pace Street
Ken Pratt Boulevard or Highway 119
Hover Road (N. 95th Street)
Airport Road (N. 87th Street)
17th Avenue
Mountain View Avenue
11th Avenue
9th Avenue
3rd Avenue
Pike Road
21st Avenue
23rd Avenue
When you speed through these areas, the camera will take a picture of the front and back of your vehicle, where the license plates are. You will see these cameras around neighborhoods, construction, and school zones, places where you see the worst speeding violations.
Pedestrians are always the ones who risk getting killed in crashes.
"If two cars are going 45 mph and they collide with each other, going in different directions at any intersection, one of them is going to get pushed into an area," said Longmont Police Chief Jeff Satur. "If you are a pedestrian at that intersection, there's potential you could be injured from that."
The warning period will end on May 29.

Musk-Trump Feud Distracts Tesla Traders Ahead of Robotaxi Launch
After years of anticipation and broken promises, Tesla Inc. said its robotaxi service is tentatively set to roll out later this month. Options traders aren't ready to buy the hype yet. Traders had braced for the milestone to come on June 12 — before Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk said late Tuesday the company is aiming for a June 22 launch date — and their positioning in the stock's options signaled that few expected any fireworks. Options traders priced in a 5.4% move in the stock for the week ending June 13, according to data compiled by Tom Keen, options strategist at Piper Sandler. That's 24% below the stock's average realized weekly move over the past 12 months.

Musk says he regrets social media posts targeting Trump: 'They went too far'
Tech executive Elon Musk said Wednesday that he regrets making some of his recent social media posts attacking President Donald Trump, admitting they went "too far." "I regret some of my posts about President @realDonaldTrump last week. They went too far," Musk wrote on X. This comes after a recent public spat between the two as Musk began criticizing Trump for his "big beautiful" spending bill after the billionaire tech executive spent months working to cut wasteful spending as part of the Department of Government Efficiency, which Musk has since departed. At one point, Musk claimed Trump was in the Justice Department's files on its investigation into accused pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, saying that was why the president's administration has not made them public. "Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files," Musk wrote. "That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!" Musk later deleted the post. Other posts from Musk included a claim that Trump would not have won the election without his help while accusing Trump of "ingratitude." In another post, Musk suggested that Trump should be impeached and replaced by Vice President Vance. Trump said last week he is not interested in talking to Musk, telling Fox News that "Elon's totally lost it." The president also said while speaking with reporters in the Oval Office last week that he was "very disappointed" in Musk's vocal criticisms of his spending bill. Trump claimed Musk knew what was in the bill and "had no problem" with it until electric vehicle incentives were cut, an assessment Musk slammed as "false." Trump also criticized Musk on social media, saying in one post: "Elon was 'wearing thin,' I asked him to leave, I took away his EV Mandate that forced everyone to buy Electric Cars that nobody else wanted (that he knew for months I was going to do!), and he just went CRAZY!" But this week, Musk and Trump have appeared to soften their stances against one another. "We had a great relationship and I wish him well — very well, actually," Trump said on Monday. Musk, who had also been Trump's senior advisor before his recent exit from the federal government, responded to the clip with a heart emoji. The public spat between the two billionaires appeared to be losing steam after Musk seemingly issued support for Trump's response to the anti-ICE demonstrations in Los Angeles. "Governor Gavin Newscum and 'Mayor' Bass should apologize to the people of Los Angeles for the absolutely horrible job that they've done, and this now includes the ongoing L.A. riots. These are not protesters, they are troublemakers and insurrectionists," Trump said late Sunday in a post Musk shared. Musk also reacted to a post by Vance, who shared a screenshot of a post from Trump about how his administration would address the demonstrations in Los Angeles. "This moment calls for decisive leadership," Vance said along with the screenshot. "The president will not tolerate rioting and violence." Musk responded to the post with a pair of American flag emojis.
