Work zone speed limits remain in effect even on weekends and when workers are absent. Officials emphasize that potential hazards still justify reduced speeds for safety.
However, speed cameras can only be used when workers are actively present and proper signage is posted.
In Central New York, nearly 30,000 speed violations have been issued this year due to automated enforcement. Statewide, these fines have generated about $6.8 million in 2024.
Authorities continue to stress the importance of adhering to work zone speed limits at all times.
