Washington State has launched its first work zone speed camera to enhance safety for road construction workers and drivers. The camera began enforcement on April 16, 2025, near the Steilacoom-DuPont Road interchange on Interstate 5, close to Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM) and the DuPont area. The trailer-mounted camera is part of the Washington State Department of Transportation's (WSDOT) Work Zone Speed Camera Program, introduced during Work Zone Awareness Month in April. This initiative aims to reduce speeding through work zones, where vehicles have been recorded traveling at speeds between 60 and 90 mph, posing risks to workers. The program represents a new tool to improve safety on Washington highways. Meanwhile, Toronto has also expanded its automated speed enforcement by adding 75 cameras throughout the city.
