okay, ticket writing commences at 1st and Rhode Island Ave NW for "intersection speed"

First, see this Washington Post article.  I have only copied in a few paragraphs here.  You can click on the link to read the entire article.




District’s ticket cameras go after stop sign, intersection-blocking drivers



The automated traffic cameras that have issued hundreds of thousands of tickets to drivers who speed or run red lights in the District began spitting them out for several other traffic infractions Saturday.
The cameras, which have produced hundreds of millions of dollars for the city, now will be positioned to catch drivers who block intersections, roll through stop signs, fail to yield to pedestrians, pass through an intersection at an unsafe speed or take an oversize bus or truck on a street too small to accommodate it.
The fines for blocking and intersection or rolling through a stop sign are $50. All of the other violations carry a $250 fine.
...
In addition to speeding and red light cameras, the Metropolitan Police Department has deployed:
...
•24 intersection speed cameras.
Here is the list of cameras for intersection speed, which includes Bloomingdale's 1st and Rhode Island NW.
