Maryland, Missouri, Tennessee Explore Freeway Speed Cameras
Federal Highway Administration and Illinois governor urge Maryland, Missouri and Tennessee to use freeway speed cameras.
Officials from Maryland, Missouri and Tennessee joined Illinois Governor Rod R. Blagojevich (D) at a two-day event designed to promote the use of speed cameras on freeways throughout the country. In 2006, Illinois became the first state government to implement a statewide photo ticketing program. This effort was soon copied by Arizona, Colorado and Washington state, each of which also sent participants to yesterday’s “highway safety workshop.” Officials attending heard about how successful these programs have been at imposing automated tickets worth up to $1000 each.
“One of the keys to this success has been the photo speed enforcement vans that have deployed by IDOT and the Illinois State Police,” Blagojevich said in a prepared statement about the event.
The participation of Missouri and Tennessee officials has revealed their states’ interest in using automated ticketing machines on freeways.
