Work zone speed cameras save lives, should be permanent, NYS officials say
State Transportation Commissioner Marie Therese Dominguez said work zone speed cameras has been proven to slow down drivers passing through active work zones. She said no workers had been injured or killed in the nearly two years since the cameras were implemented.
"We make no apologies for trying to keep our workers safe, because the bottom line is the program is working," Dominguez said. "In locations where the cameras have been present for more than one time, fewer notices of liability are being issued, meaning that people are indeed slowing down."
