If you’re not following the posted speed limit on several New York State Roads you could soon be surprised by an automated ticket beginning this Monday.
A new initiative from the New York State Department of Transportation uses technology to detect everyone going over the speed limit in specific locations and automatically send them a speeding ticket.
Many New York drivers are unaware that automated speeding tickets are even legal on highways, but a law legalizing the process was quietly passed in 2021 and is now being implemented in the Hudson Valley and other areas around the state.
How Does Automated Ticketing Work in New York?
According to the New York State Department of Transportation, the system identifies vehicles traveling over the posted speed limit using a camera triggered by radar. When a speeding vehicle is detected, a series of photos show the distance, the time of travel and the license plate.
A NYS Certified Technician will review all violations to confirm that the information is correct. Once it’s determined that the vehicle was speeding, the registered owner of the vehicle will be sent a Notice of Liability in the mail.
