Speed Cameras Hit I-64 This Friday | Virginia Beach News

Starting Friday, August 16th, James City County is deploying speed cameras on I-64 to crack down on speeding in construction zones—any driver going 10 mph over the limit will get a warning for the first 30 days, then a $100 civil fine after September 13th. These cameras are part of the I-64 Gap Widening project across three counties, aimed at boosting worker safety after a sharp rise in crashes: 62 injuries and 4 deaths in 2024, jumping to 115 injuries and 1 death last year, and already 51 injuries and 1 death this year. Unlike traditional tickets, these won’t affect your license or insurance. Cameras activate only when crews are onsite, with variable signs adjusting speed limits between 60 and 70 mph. Similar systems in New Kent and Wythe County have cut work zone speeding by up to 75%, proving these cameras are a powerful tool to change driver behavior.
