New York’s work zone speed camera pilot program has issued over 33,000 violations in Central New York and collected $11.7 million statewide since its 2023 launch, including $8 million in 2024 alone.
Fines range from $50 to $100 for repeat offenses, with revenue funding program costs and safety initiatives.
Workers must be present, and signs must warn drivers of active cameras. Governor Kathy Hochul has proposed making the program permanent to enhance safety, with videos showcasing work zone accidents planned to raise awareness.
Drivers caught speeding risk registration holds for unpaid fines.
