Kersey, Colorado, issues $586,000 in refunds for speeding tickets

Feb 4, 2026, 6:28 PM | Updated: Feb 5, 2026, 2:44 pm

The Town of Kersey, Colorado, voted on January 13, 2026, to refund over $586,000 in $340 photo radar speeding tickets issued prior to mid-November 2025.

These fines violated the town’s own law and ordinance, which capped speed camera penalties at $40.

The photo radar is located on Weld County Road 49 (CR 49), specifically where the speed limit decreases significantly, often from 65 mph to 45 mph in a short stretch.

Kersey just posted that it will take 30-60 days to get your refund.

Refund forms are expected to be available on the town’s website as of February 3, 2026. The refunds affect individuals who received and paid for $340 photo radar tickets for speeding 25 mph or more over the limit on Weld County Road 49.

9NEWS’ Steve Staeger exposed the Kersey oversight. See his latest Facebook post regarding the speed trap.
