Mass Pike AET Gantries Are Clocking Speed, but Not for Ticketing Purposes

MassLive.com reports, “The cameras on the gantries were turned on several months ago as the state continues to move toward a fall launch of all-electronic tolling on the Massachusetts Pike. But the devices are not just taking a photo of your license plate. MassDOT confirmed to MassLive that the new system, which is now in a testing phase, also captures your vehicle speed as you pass under each gantry.” The report adds, a few paragraphs deep, “‘MassDOT will not be using the AET system to issue speeding violations,’ a spokesman told MassLive.”
