27 New York Roads Have Speed Cameras—7 Are Watching CNY

If you're hitting the road this week, you might want to ease up on that gas pedal.

New York's work-zone speed cameras are moving to new locations, and there are several spots in Central New York where you could see one.

You'll see radar in 27 locations across New York, including two in Oneida County, one in Herkimer, and four in Onondaga County for August 16 through August 22.

Speed Cameras Are Watching in Work Zones

The Automated Work Zone Speed Enforcement program is designed to slow drivers down and protect highway workers. The cameras are deployed in active construction zones and can capture vehicles traveling above the posted work-zone speed limit.

If you're caught, a notice can show up in the mail. The first violation carries a $50 fine, a second violation within 18 months is $75, and a third or subsequent violation within 18 months is $100.

Slow Down and Save Yourself the Ticket

The easiest way to avoid a work-zone speeding ticket is pretty simple: slow down.
