End of an era of camera-less monitoring. It's been fun while it lasted.

Its only for if you are going 80+mph past a work zone.

Not really an unreasonable rule tbf.

If they start throwing cameras up all over the highway then that's pretty shit

Just the speed camera PR folks that are all over reddit. The average citizen agrees with you.

That group has been pushing for that for decades now and have failed.

IIRC its illegal in CT to random scan plates and check registration because its a secondary infraction.

Other states have issues with these problems but we haven't and still don't.

And yet police departments do it all the time. Many towns use their ALPRs to do this very thing. Those systems are like $15k, so they need revenue to cover the purchase price.

Our workzone speed limit is 45 and they were flagging people going over 60 when they were calibrating their machine and collecting preliminary data for this.

I mean they’ve already been studying traffic in work zones with those temp cameras you see. Those replaced the old wire in the road to count how many cars were using it (and speed I believe).
