In a letter to the California Senate Appropriations Committee, Advocates has offered support of Assembly Bill (AB) 289 to authorize a pilot program allowing the California Department of Transportation to utilize up to 75 speed safety cameras in active roadway work zones.
Roadway workers and law enforcement risk their lives when performing their duties every day. Yet, it is implausible for law enforcement officers to be everywhere and catch every speeding violation. Speed safety cameras augment traditional enforcement without requiring a traffic stop and will improve safety for roadway work zones. The committee should advance AB 289 to save lives.

We previously urged the Senate Transportation Committee to advance AB 289.
