NMA Pennsylvania Alert: Speed Cameras Proposed for Work Zones
Pennsylvania continues to target motorists for revenue generation. As part of a plan to fill a 10-year, $7.2 billion transportation funding gap, lawmakers have proposed the installation of speed cameras in work zones.
Senate Bill 1326 and House Bill 2101 would authorize the cameras and are currently under review in their respective transportation committees.
The NMA opposes photo enforcement of any kind. Speed cameras have proven to be unreliable and are an ineffective way to enforce speed limits. They put revenue generation ahead of public safety, to the detriment of motorists’ rights. (Learn more about the NMA’s objections to speed cameras.)
We urge you to contact committee members as well as your local Senate and House members to let them know what you think. Traffic enforcement throughout Pennsylvania is already oppressive without the addition of work-zone speed cameras, which will have no positive impact on safety.
