WHATCOM COUNTY, Wash. — Through legislation passed in 2023, Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) is implementing a statewide Work Zone Speed Camera Program in collaboration with several other organizations. The goal is to reduce speeding in active work zones.
Starting in early 2025, work zone speed cameras, mounted on trailers, will be in active work zones across the state.
Before driving through a work zone with camera enforcement, signs will tell drivers the posted speed limit and that work zone speed cameras are activated.
When a vehicle is traveling over the posted speed limit, the system will take images of the vehicle, its license plate and related information (i.e. speed limit, speed, location, date, time, etc.).
