Good Morning,

The law does require that there be a posted sign so many feet (Off the top of my head, I do not know the exact number of feet) before the location where the camera radar is set up. I am assumming that your ticket was received in Denver because Denver seems to be the majority user of photo radar tickets. The sign must be visible to on-coming traffic. If the sign was not set up, then the radar operator was not following the law and the ticket may be dismissed.

I hope this information helps you. David Colt
