New Speeding Fines Take Effect October 1

State Police are reminding drivers of new speed monitoring fines taking effect Oct. 1, bringing the new maximum from $40 to $425. The new tiered penalty system, established through House Bill 182, will apply to speed monitoring systems statewide. Previously, those driving 15 mph over the speed limit faced the same $40 civil citation as those speeding by 45 mph. The new civil citations look like this: 12-15 mph over: $40, 16-19 mph over: $70 and 20-29 mph over: $120.
