New York State is all about the speed and traffic cameras, but where were they?

David Lentz

The speed cameras have been installed in construction zones. Yep, there are 30 of them deployed across the state. They operate similar to the red light cameras that are in New York City. The cameras capture your license plate just like they capture your license plate if you don't have an E-Z Pass on your car and they have to send you a toll ticket in the mail.

Do these tickets count as points on your New York State driver's license?

The cameras don't capture a photo of the driver, ultimately the tickets become the problem of whomever the vehicle is registered to. So, if you are driving someone else's car, or a work car, things could be even more complicated. The goal of these cameras? To get you to slow down and to keep not only yourself safe, but the people also working in that work zone.
