Out of the nearly 2.8 million cars counted in construction zones in last year’s new speed camera program, nearly 25,000 drivers received written warnings, and more than 700 of them got fined at least $75, according to state data. Officials said the first year’s results is a good sign for the pilot Know the Zone speed safety program, which aimed to get drivers to slow down in work zones. The Department of Transportation, which is already looking to do it again, placed cameras from April through December at three major projects: on the Westport, Norwalk line and East Lyme on Interstate-95 and in Waterbury on Interstate-84. The program came out of state legislation in 2021 and in hopes of getting drivers to slow down and prevent construction site accidents. Anyone going at least 15 miles per hour over the speed limit received a letter in the mail from the state police with a photo of their license plate, warning them about their speed in the construction zone, and that they will receive a fine if they do it again. After the written warning, the second offense was a $75 fine and every one following was $150.
