The Michigan Senate has passed a bill allowing the installation of automated speed cameras in construction zones to enhance road safety and protect workers. This legislative action follows the tragic death of a construction worker in a Detroit work zone. The cameras will flag vehicles exceeding the speed limit by 10 mph or more, issuing warnings for first offenses, and fines for subsequent violations. The measure, which mirrors similar laws in states like Maryland, aims to significantly reduce speeding and fatal incidents in work zones. Public opinion is mixed, with some drivers supporting the initiative for safety reasons, while others express privacy concerns. The bills now await final approval from the Michigan House and Governor Gretchen Whitmer's review.
