30 Work Zone Speed Trap Cameras Are Now Set in New York State

There are 30 cameras that are set up on the New York State Thruway that will automatically issue you a speeding ticket and send it right to your house.

New York State is making some serious money from these automated cameras. New York State has it listed that there are 30 cameras, at least, set up across New York State. There is supposed to be signage and warning signs that the area you are about to enter with your car is going to be on camera and will be ticketing speeders.

The threshold is 10 miles per hour over the limit; that's when the cameras will detect 'speeding'. If you get 'caught' by one of the cameras speeding, you will get the ticket via mail within 14 days. Here is what the fines are currently:

• First Violation: $50 fine
• Second Violation: $75 fine if within an 18-month period of first violation
• Third and Subsequent Violations: $100 fine if within an 18-month period of first violation

In accordance with the state statute (1180-E(a)), enforcement may occur in any work zones located on a controlled access highway—or any roadway within the state designated for high-speed vehicular traffic.

There will be 30 work zone speed units launching in April 2023 that will be moved around to work zones throughout the state.
