• Abstract:
  Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) systems, consisting of traffic enforcement cameras, photo enforcement programs, or speed cameras, are used to more strictly enforce speed limits in work zones. ASE systems help improve work zone safety by identifying drivers who exceed the posted speed limit by a certain amount, who are then issued citations. Use of ASE systems is especially beneficial at work zones in high-speed areas. ASE systems typically include signage, placed well before the speed camera installation, clearly indicating that ASE systems are in use and specifying the lowered speed limit. Agencies are highly encouraged to deploy a speed display trailer informing drivers of their vehicles' speed as they enter the enforcement area.
