This week is National Work Zone Awareness Week, and as budget negotiations continue, we need to remind lawmakers that protecting our highway workers must be a top priority. We are advocating for stronger measures to enhance work zone safety, including:
- Doubling the number of work zone speed cameras available to the State Department of Transportation and the Thruway Authority.
- Expanding the camera program to include the New York State Bridge Authority.
- Making the program permanent to ensure long-term safety enforcement.
- Increasing penalties for assaults against DMV and highway personnel to better protect the people who keep our roads safe.
