If speed-enforcement cameras prompt drivers to slow down, how many people would argue against them? As it turns out, plenty. And they are complicating the challenge of road construction accidents and safety in states in which prohibitions on such cameras don’t exclude road-work zones. With most states yet to deploy such systems or pass laws governing their use, the anti-camera sentiment could be a major impediment.
Illinois, which first allowed speed- radar enforcement in 2004, limits the use of speed cameras to construction zones and toll roads, according to the Governors’ Highway Safety Association.
