Records Show 500,000 Violations From Work Zone Speed Cameras in PA

As reported by Pittsburgh’s WTAE, records indicate more than a half-million speeding violations have been issued at construction zones since Pennsylvania began using work zone speed cameras in 2020. So far, fines have not been enough to deter motorists from speeding. Violations increased 45% during the first nine months of 2021 and fines more than doubled to $3.6 million. Construction zone crashes were down last year but PennDOT said it is unclear whether speed cameras were a factor due to the pandemic.
