HD 3717 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to construction zone speed control systems

This bill establishes rules for using camera systems to monitor speeding in active construction zones in Massachusetts. It requires cameras to detect speeds exceeding the posted limit by 15+ mph, with strict evidence standards (including rear-facing images of license plates and timestamps) and mandates public signage in affected zones. The law prohibits vendors from being paid based on ticket revenue and requires the Department of Transportation to destroy non-violation footage within 30 days and violation evidence within one year after case resolution. It directly affects drivers who speed in construction zones and governs how the state and vendors handle speed camera data and enforcement.
