WV HB3117

Authorizes the Division of Highways to deploy automated speed camera systems in active work zones on multi-lane highways with speed limits of 55 mph or greater to assist law enforcement in real-time speed enforcement

Requires specific conditions for camera use, including posting notice on the WV 511 website, placing at least two warning signs before the work zone, and ensuring citations are issued contemporaneously with violations by certified law enforcement officers

Prohibits use of speed cameras to record frontal images of vehicles or for remote surveillance purposes, and limits recorded images to speed violations only

Creates an exception to West Virginia's existing ban on photo-monitoring devices for traffic enforcement specifically for work zone speed control systems

Specifies that violations under this program will not affect the driver's record, insurance rates, or result in surcharge points, while maintaining the same civil penalties as standard speeding violations under existing law
