Speed programs
Work zone speed
The work zone moves. The crew changes shift. The lane shifts overnight. A program here has to follow the site, and it has to prove that workers were present when the citation was issued.
Why it matters
The person at risk is standing on the road, not driving on it
Work zone enforcement is the category with the clearest safety argument and the least political resistance, because the beneficiary is visible and wearing a vest. That is also why it is the category where federal support has held.
- Enforcement window tied to actual crew presence.
- Lane configuration and taper recorded with the event.
- Deployment log showing where the unit was and when.
Moving geometry
The zone changes daily. Signage and unit position have to be logged daily too.
Shift patterns
Night work, weekend closures and short windows are the norm, not the exception.
State highway
Contracting usually runs through the state DOT rather than a city.
Crew testimony
The record has to support what the crew will say if a citation is contested.
How the program runs
Deploy, verify, warn, enforce
Site setup
Unit positioned with the traffic control plan, signage placed and photographed.
Presence check
Enforcement enabled against the crew schedule and confirmed on site.
Warning phase
Warning notices for the period the program requires at each new location.
Enforcement
Citations with the deployment log and signage record attached.
Legal framework
What is authorized is not the same in every state
Authority, thresholds, signage and retention are set by the statute of each state and, in several states, of each program. What appears here is a description of how we operate, not legal advice.
Before anything else
We confirm what your jurisdiction is authorized to operate today.
Written into the program
Thresholds, signage, warning periods and retention are configured, not assumed.
Your counsel decides
We bring the operational picture. The legal call belongs to your attorney.
