The MTA is implementing speed cameras in construction zones across seven bridges and two tunnels to deter reckless driving and enhance safety. As per the $254 million state budget, fines for speeding in these zones could start at $50, escalating for repeat offenses. Governor Kathy Hochul emphasizes the safety of workers and travelers as a top priority, with hopes that expanded enforcement through these cameras can significantly lower work zone intrusions, which numbered 378 in 2021, thus protecting everyone on the roads.
