<\/a>An Automated Work Zone Speed Monitoring Pilot Program<\/strong> is up and running in New York State.<\/p>\n

The program is a joint initiative between the New York State Department of Transportation<\/strong> and the New York State Thruway Authority<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

A total of 30 speed violation monitoring systems that rely on RADAR technology are being used in active work zones on state maintained roads and on the thruway.<\/p>\n

New York State has experienced a rising number of work zone speed violations in recent years, resulting in numerous highway worker injuries and several deaths among state and contractor personnel.<\/p>\n

Under the program, all vehicles detected violating the posted speed limit within a work zone by over an established threshold will be fined. License plate images and speed data collected will be sent to NYSDOT and the Thruway within a week, with violation fines issued to the vehicle’s registered owner by mail.<\/p>\n

Fines through the pilot program will be issued as follows:
\n– $50 for first violation
\n– $75 for second violation
\n– $100 for third and subsequent violations within 18 months of the first violation<\/p>\n
