Reading Eagle reports, “More than two years into Pennsylvania’s use of unmanned cameras to enforce speeds in active work zones, state officials believe the pilot program is making a difference in keeping workers and travelers safe, reducing crashes, and changing dangerous driving habits. Though some drivers are still surprised when they receive a letter informing them that they were caught speeding by automated devices, there is a growing understanding of the program, and it’s motivating motorists not to drive too fast or distracted through construction areas, officials say.” The Pennsylvania pilot, operated jointly by PennDOT and the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission with a contracted administrator, is one of just three in the nation. (Maryland and Illinois have similar programs.)
