WSDOT begins rollout of Work Zone Speed Camera Program in WA

The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) is set to launch a Work Zone Speed Camera Program in early 2025, aiming to enhance safety in construction zones by reducing speeding, a leading cause of accidents. With an average of 1,345 work zone crashes annually in Washington, the initiative is backed by legislation that took effect in 2023 and will run until 2030. The program is designed to capture speeding vehicles and notify offenders through a mailed notice of infraction.
