Policy Statement and Guidance on Automated Speed Enforcement (Speed Safety Cameras) in Roadway Work Zones

The safety and well-being of all roadway users is a key priority for the American Road and Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA). According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, over the past two decades, speeding has been involved in approximately one-third of all highway fatalities. ARTBA supports proven strategies to improve the safety and health of workers and roadway users as they navigate roadway construction work zones. ARTBA advocates the adoption of automated speed enforcement programs for work zones and calls upon the transportation construction industry to seek authorization and begin implementation of this proven safety strategy.
