Bill > A04010

This bill increases the number of photo speed violation monitoring systems (automated speed cameras) that can be installed in highway construction or maintenance work areas, making the program permanent. Specifically, the bill expands the existing demonstration program by increasing the number of allowed camera systems from 20 to 40 on controlled-access highways managed by the Department of Transportation, and from 10 to 20 on the New York State Thruway. These photo speed violation monitoring systems will capture images of vehicles exceeding posted speed limits in work zones, and the vehicle's owner can be held liable for the violation. The systems will be strategically placed based on criteria such as speed data, crash history, and roadway geometry, and cannot be installed on highway exit ramps. The bill also removes the previous time limitation on the program, effectively making the speed enforcement initiative a permanent part of highway safety measures. The changes aim to enhance safety for highway workers and drivers by deterring speeding in construction and maintenance work areas.
