Is it possible your friends were doing 11~12 mph over the limit but were only charged with 6, reducing the fine by $50? But if they truly got their tickets thru photo radar while doing only 31 in a 25 zone, I'll slow down. But it's at the risk of being rear ended, given the number of overly aggressive drivers around here.

According to the DC website, you are spot-on.....

5400 block of 16th Street, NW (southbound) 4

The thing is where I've come across the cameras, traffic slowed to the speed limit, I distinctly got the feeling District residents know where all the cams are and slow, and it was the VA/MD plates that were still speeding...
