ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) — Did you get an unwelcomed surprise in the mail last year? New York's Automated Work Zone speed Enforcement Program issued more than 44-thousand speeding citations in Monroe County. The construction or maintenance zone cameras were placed along spots on I-390, I-490 and NY 104 for several weeks toward the back half of 2024. If the radar and camera caught you speeding, you received a notice of liability in the mail, carrying with it a fine of $50 for the first offense. The amount jumped to $75 for a second violation in an 18-month period and $100 for any additional. Unlike standard speeding tickets, these are no points against your driver's license, your insurance company is not informed and there are no criminal implications. News 8 filed a Freedom of Information Law request with the NYS Department of Transportation to find out how many citations were issued at the various checkpoints in Monroe County. The DOT confirmed 44,462 citations were levied, with the vast majority of them coming from the I-490 eastbound zone in Gates — 30,660 from that spot alone. 9,388 speeders were caught on camera on I-390 northbound in Brighton. I-390 southbound in Brighton had another 4,073. Even if each citation were a first offense, that means at least $2,223,100 in fines were issued by the state. This speed enforcement program is part of a five-year initiative passed into law in 2021 that includes 30 cameras, 20 being handled by the DOT and 10 by the NYS Thruway Authority. The goal is to create awareness and improve safety in road construction work zones. Governor Hochul proposed make it permanent as part of her State of the State address Tuesday. There are currently no active enforcement cameras in Monroe County, according to the state's website.
