WASHINGTON — Drivers with lead feet beware: D.C. police have deployed new automated speed enforcement locations in Southeast — both on the same street, authorities said in a news release Monday.

The Photo Enforcement Units are both in the 4300 block of Livingston Road Southeast — one unit for northbound and one for southbound.

Officials have identified the area as one where speeding and pedestrian safety is a problem. They’ll be monitoring for anyone going faster than 25 mph.

Monday starts a 30-day warning period, during which those who put the pedal to the metal will get warning citations.

After those 30 days are up, D.C. police will start handing out moving citations.

“Photo radar is a proven tool in slowing people down and reducing collisions,” D.C. police say on their website. “Here in D.C., speeding has been reduced dramatically in the enforcement zones where photo radar is operating.”

Coolest cars for summer: SUVs

While convertibles are the stars of summer, SUVs are the workhorses. Their tasks are endless, from trips to the beach to Home Depot or to socially-distanced gatherings. It’s hard to shake up the jam-packed SUV market, but Hyundai managed to do so with the Palisade, as an extreme value play. It seats up to eight, can be equipped with almost every luxury touch and competes with SUVs costing thousands (or tens of thousands) more.
