Work Zone Speed Camera Program

Starting in early 2025, work zone speed cameras, mounted on trailers, will be in active work zones across the state.

Before driving through a work zone with camera enforcement, signs will tell drivers the posted speed limit and that work zone speed cameras are activated.

When a vehicle is traveling over the posted speed limit, the system will take images of the vehicle, its license plate and related information (i.e. speed limit, speed, location, date, time, etc.).

Washington State Patrol will review images and data captured by the speed cameras. If the Washington State Patrol determines that a violation has been committed, a notice of infraction will be mailed to the registered owner of the vehicle within 30 days.

Safer speeds equal safer work zones

Speeding is one of the main causes of serious injury or death in work zones – not only for work crews. According to WSDOT’s traffic analysis, nearly 95% of people injured in work zone crashes are drivers, their passengers or nearby pedestrians.

Through legislation passed in 2023, we are starting a statewide Work Zone Speed Camera Program in collaboration with several other organizations committed to safety. The goal is to reduce speeding in active work zones. Reducing speeding helps prevent crashes, decreases injuries and saves lives.
