Effective from today, April 27, 2024, drivers will be automatically fined for speeding in designated work zones across New York State. The new program is a collaborative effort between the State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) and the Thruway Authority (NYSTA) and will be enforced using automated cameras. Under New York Vehicle & Traffic Law § 1180-E, the registered owner of the vehicle will be held financially responsible for the fine, regardless of who was driving. Therefore, it is crucial for drivers to be cautious and adhere to speed limits to avoid costly penalties.
