AB 402 Nevada Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Creates a pilot program authorizing the installation and use of automated traffic enforcement systems in temporary traffic control zones. (BDR 43-184)

AB 402 creates a pilot program allowing automated cameras to enforce speed limits in temporary road construction zones (like work sites). It permits the Department of Transportation, local authorities, or transportation commissions to install these systems, but requires an officer to review evidence before issuing a speeding ticket. Violations detected this way are treated as civil penalties (not moving violations), so they don’t add demerit points to a driver’s license. The bill also establishes that the vehicle’s registered owner is presumed to be the driver, but they can contest this presumption. This directly affects drivers traveling through temporary road work zones in Nevada.
