Overview
- MnDOT is installing speed safety cameras at two construction sites: Interstate 35W in Burnsville and Highway 65 between Cambridge and north of Braham.
- The pilot will notify drivers with orange signs and mail warning letters to registered owners whose vehicles are recorded at 10 mph or more over the posted work-zone speed.
- The systems will capture license-plate images only and will not issue fines during the initial warning phase as MnDOT collects data on effectiveness.
- MnDOT cited evidence from other states and a recent Minneapolis intersection camera program that reported declines in speeding after deployment.
- Officials say the pilot aims to change driver behavior, measure safety impacts for construction workers and motorists, and inform whether wider camera use is warranted.
