is actually written into the law. It's fairly comprehensive. Max fine is $100 and being a civil violation it doesn't count points against your license and insurance is not notified. Warning signs are placed and the cameras are pretty obvious if the driver is paying attention. Local law enforcement decide whether to deploy the cameras so if anyone's got a beef call your local sheriff. Some of the construction zones were delayed deployment because VDOT had certain rules about allowing the cameras to be operated within the work zone. But after the paperwork was cleared, it was making money. I am generally opposed to speed and stoplight cameras. I think it takes the enforcement of the law out of the hands of police officers who positively identify the driver and testify in court. That's due process to me. However, with Virginia restricting the cameras to logical areas of heightened safety, I can't say that I'm totally opposed. The construction work zone cameras will be, by definition, temporary. And if you've never stood on the shoulder of the interstate in a work zone with trucks blasting by at 80 mph...try it once. School zones-does anything really need to be said? I do worry about the slippery slope argument. How long before the law expands to every 1 horse town crossroads in Virginia?
