Fines and Penalties
A citation will be mailed to the registered owner of a vehicle photographed by the automated work zone speed control systems within 30 days of committing the violation or 30 days after the driver is identified, whichever is later. For vehicles registered outside of Connecticut, citations will be mailed within 30 days after the driver is identified.
The penalties for vehicle owners are as follows:
- First offense: A written warning with no fine
- Any subsequent offense within one year of the most recent violation: Notice of liability with a $75 fine
- If the vehicle is traveling at a speed of 85 miles/hour or greater: Notice of liability with a $75 fine regardless of first or subsequent offense status
Note: Any subsequent violation occuring more than one year after the most recent violation shall be considered a first violation.
