News 12 Connecticut reports, in two weeks, Connecticut DOT will launch a one-year pilot program for the deployment of automated speed monitoring cameras in highway work zones. The state legislature is currently considering an expansion of the initiative, which aims to reduce speeding and prevent crashes that create the risk of death or injury for workers. Speeders will receive a warning upon the first offense and incur a $75 fine for a subsequent violation.
In a related development, the Transportation Research Board has updated and published a comprehensive collection of resources on work zone safety.
