In an effort to reduce motor vehicle crashes in Wilmington's I-95 construction zone, Delaware is piloting a program that will electronically ticket drivers that go over the speed limit.

The Electronic Speed Safety Program will start with a 30-day warning period when violators will be mailed a notice of exceeding the posted work zone speed limit. The I-95 construction zone in Wilmington has a posted speed limit of 45 miles per hour.

Registered vehicle owners will receive a base violation of $20.00 and an additional amount is added for each mile per hour over the posted work zone speed limit, the department explained. Violations are civil penalties only and no points will be assessed to driver's licenses, according to DelDOT. "We continue to see motorists traveling at speeds well above the posted speed limit and too many crashes are occurring in the construction zone," Secretary of Transportation Nicole Majeski said. "We need to utilize all the tools available to reduce crashes, and this program is about protecting everyone's safety."

According to DelDOT, there were 423 crashes in the I-95 work zone in Delaware, an increase of 49 percent in the same area from 2019.
