A bill heading to the governor's desk would hit speeders where it hurts.
Senator David Argall, who serves Berks and Schuylkill County, introduced Senate Bill 172, which passed this week and would allow speed cameras in active work zones on major highways.
A driver caught on camera going at least 11 miles per hour above the speed limit would receive a written warning for the first offense, a $75 fine for the second one, and a $150 fine for each offense after that.
Some of the fines would be used to pay for an increased Pennsylvania State Police presence in work zones and other safety initiatives.
Governor Tom Wolf said he plans to sign the bill into law.
