New York’s speed camera trial could be

In the first two items of the five-year pilot program, no injuries or deaths of workers were recorded in the camera surveillance area.

The speed camera trial in New York was despised by impatient drivers for their potential to save lives, who have been attacked by millions of fines — so successful that state officials are now urging it to become a permanent fixture.

The New York State Channel Administration and the Department of Transportation both hope that lawmakers will pass the state budget to automatically enforce the pilot program for automatic workspace speeds, which will be completed on April 1.

The plan was signed into law in 2021, and this year 50 drivers or highway workers were injured in part of the car that entered public transportation. The trial lasted for five years and began operation in April 2023, when 30 workspace speed units were deployed.

Even though the plan has only two plans so far in the five years of the plan, transportation officials say there is enough evidence that its benefits can prove that it is permanent.

“In the not too long, we’ve seen a change in driver behavior in the past two years,” Frank Hoare, executive director of the Thruway Authority in New York, told WSYR. “The data supports it. We’ve seen people slow down, and a vital component of the program requires fees incurred from violations to enter the safety program.”

Violating the workspace speed will not add points to your driver’s license. However, the first speeding violation was fined $50, with a fine of $75 in 18 months, and reduced three or more to three or more in 18 months, resulting in a cost of $100 for each new violation. It is reported that about $11.7 million has been collected since the pilot program began.

Slowing cars isn’t the only way New York State wants to protect its road workspace employees. The transport boss also hopes legislation will pass, which will make the assault of a worker a Class D felony, which could put the offender in jail for up to seven years.

“People are actually getting on and off the car, kicking, throwing hot coffee, throwing insults at our highway maintenance workers,” New York State Department of Transportation Commissioner Marie Therese Dominguez told the news outlet.
