DC adds new speed limit enforcement cameras

The District Department of Transportation announced plans to install another round of automatic cameras in seven locations around the city.

Most of the photo enforcement cameras, DDOT said in a statement, will be installed this March, with a 30-day educational phase.

During the educational phase, violators captured by these new cameras will receive warning citations in lieu of tickets for violations. Afterward, D.C. traffic officials say that it will issue notices with fines that could range from $100 to $500 based on the driver’s speed in excess of the posted limit.

The automatic cameras will be installed at the following locations:

  • 400 block of Irving St. NW (northeast bound)
  • 1300 block of 9th St. NW (southbound)
  • 1400 block of E Capitol St. NE (westbound)
  • 34th St. (northbound) at Quebec St. NW
  • 3700 block of 14th St. NE (northbound)
  • 3700 block of Wheeler Rd. SE (northbound)
  • 300 block of Oklahoma Ave NE (westbound)

Kennedy Center renews call for Trump-backed shutdown after part of a ceiling collapses

WASHINGTON (AP) — A chunk of ceiling fell inside a main hallway of the Kennedy Center, according to a spokesperson who said the damage underscores the need to shut down the historic arts venue for renovations sought by President Donald Trump. No one was injured when a piece of the ceiling inside the Kennedy Center's grand foyer collapsed Friday evening, said Roma Daravi, the center's vice president for public relations. Photos provided by the center showed a large hole in the high ceiling and debris littering the red carpet in part of the hallway that connects the Kennedy Center's three main performance auditoriums. The damage occurred during stormy weather in Washington. The Kennedy Center's Trump-aligned board is fighting in court to move forward with plans to add Trump's name to the building's facade and to close the center for two years as it undergoes $250 million in renovations.
