Construction season is ramping up across New York, which means so are the state's automated work zone speed cameras.

The cameras move to different road projects every week, and if you're not paying attention to those reduced speed limits, a ticket could be showing up in your mailbox.

Speed Cameras Are Watching in Work Zones

The Automated Work Zone Speed Enforcement program was created to slow drivers down and protect highway workers.

The cameras are set up in active construction zones and can capture speeding vehicles and license plates automatically.

Drivers caught speeding receive a notice in the mail.

First Violation: $50 fine
Second Violation: $75 fine within 18 months
Third and Additional Violations: $100 fine within 18 months

Slow Down and Save Yourself the Ticket

The easiest way to avoid a work zone speeding ticket is pretty simple: slow down. New York officials say speeding continues to be one of the biggest dangers facing road crews working just feet from moving traffic.
