The cameras were initially introduced in the state as a pilot program at work zones in 2021. The work zone cameras were installed in 2024. That paved the way for the permanent use of speed cameras at work zones. Then, this year, the first speed cameras were installed in the town of Washington. First-time offenders face a $50 fine, while offenses after that cost $75. The fines do not count against someone’s driving record, but the idea is that the penalty will deter people from routinely speeding. There are also signs placed in the area of the cameras, warning them that vehicle speed is monitored by camera. Now, the legislature has passed a law that moves Connecticut closer to speed cameras on highways. The first step is for the state DOT to develop a plan to “expand the use of speed safety cameras on state highways,” the bill says, with a plan and proposed legislation submitted, “Not later than Feb. 1, 2026.” Last year was the second-deadliest on record for car crashes in Connecticut.
