Advocates has sent a letter requesting Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer (D) sign House Bill (HB) 4132. This legislation will permit automated speed enforcement (ASE) in active work zones on state-maintained roads and ensure Michigan benefits from this proven, lifesaving technology to curb speeding and the deadly consequences.
In 2022, 1,124 people were killed on Michigan’s roads, and 27 percent of the crash fatalities involved speeding. In addition, Michigan incurs more than $12.3 billion in economic harm annually due to motor vehicle crashes. Speed safety cameras are proven to deter speeding and its impact and are recommended by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), among others.
