Fast Facts: What You Need to Know

  • The speed safety cameras will be used in select highway work zones beginning April 10, 2023. The Know the Zone: Speed Safety Camera Program complements the state’s ongoing efforts to reduce work zone crashes to zero. The one-year pilot program ended December 31, 2023.
  • Speed safety cameras will be active in no more than three designated locations on limited-access State highways at any time.
  • Drivers will be able to see signage that clearly indicates the active use of speed safety cameras before entering work zones with the cameras in use. Signage will also be posted at the end of work zones with active speed safety cameras. Current and past speed safety camera locations will also be posted on the Program & Locations page.
  • Speed safety cameras will capture a series of images of vehicles traveling 15 mph or greater than the posted work zone speed limit. If the occupants of the vehicle are visible in an image, the image of the occupants will be masked.
  • The registered owner of the vehicle photographed by the speed safety cameras will receive a citation – called a “Notice of Liability” – in the mail.
