Establishing program for camera-assisted speed enforcement in active work zones on public highways
SB 696 establishes a program allowing cameras to enforce speed limits in active work zones on West Virginia public highways. The bill authorizes the Division of Highways to set speed limits for these zones and permits camera systems as an exception to the general ban on photo enforcement devices. It sets specific conditions for camera use, including operational restrictions and requirements for lawful deployment. The program applies only to active work zones where road construction or maintenance is ongoing, not to general roadways.
