Work Zone Speed Cameras Go Active | Vancouver News

Speeding in work zones just got more expensive—starting Wednesday, fines are rising statewide as trailer-mounted cameras rotate through construction areas. Since the program began, over 85,000 tickets have been issued, mostly to first-time offenders. The goal? Keep drivers safe and reduce the 1,300 crashes that happen annually in these zones. The state isn’t after revenue—cameras are paid for monthly, and funding is secured through 2027. When a camera catches you speeding, the State Patrol gets the info, and you’ll receive a notice in the mail within 30 days to pay, dispute, or check the ticket. Cameras capture vehicles, not drivers, to protect workers and motorists alike. Next time you pass a work zone, slow down—it’s not just the law, it’s safety.
