Laparkan Trading Limited: ‘Cheers to 40 Years...’ NEW YORK, NY: NEW YORK City Department of Transportation (NYC DOT) Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez has announced the launch of mobile speed camera enforcement in select highway work zones. First offences will start at $50, increase to $75 for second offences, and escalate to $100 for all subsequent offences that happen in an 18-month period. The new mobile speed camera enforcement focuses on state highways, launched in partnership with the New York State Department of Transportation, and will help protect NYC DOT highway work crews and all road users. “Speeding ruins lives, and if you speed in a work zone, you will get caught,” said NYC DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez. “My message to drivers in work zones is simple: behave as if crews in work zones are members of your own family. Our crews do important work to keep you safe, and we need you to do your part to help keep them safe.” The state recently deployed mobile speed cameras at NYC DOT worksites in four of the five boroughs, protecting highway work crews on the Clearview Expressway in Queens, on the West Shore Expressway on Staten Island, Prospect Parkway in Brooklyn, and both the Bronx River Parkway and Major Deegan in the Bronx. The results of the programme have been impressive: the speed camera setups at NYC DOT worksites have already identified 210 speeding vehicles.
