Highway work zone safety; provide mechanism for enhanced enforcement of and penalties for violation of traffic rules regarding.
HB 926 authorizes automated speed cameras in highway work zones where workers are present, allowing law enforcement to issue citations based on images showing vehicles exceeding the speed limit by 10+ mph. It requires specific conditions: at least one worker must be present, a certified officer must be nearby in a marked vehicle, and clear signage with flashing lights must be displayed. The bill mandates annual calibration of devices, restricts image sharing to the driver, and creates a Highway Work Zone Safety Fund to dedicate collected fines toward enhanced enforcement. It also doubles fines for repeat violations in work zones and amends existing traffic laws to align with these new enforcement standards.
