Washington to begin speed camera enforcement in roadwork zones

The Washington State Patrol will soon have a new tool to catch drivers speeding through highway work zones.

Starting in a few weeks, a speed camera mounted on an orange trailer will rotate through work zones across Washington in a bid to keep workers safe on state highways.

State officials showed off the new technology in a press conference Wednesday.

The camera will look for cars going over the speed limit and take pictures of the vehicle and its license plate. You don’t have to smile, the photos won’t capture faces. Captured information will go to state troopers, who will review the images and mail infractions to drivers within 30 days.
